A team at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) has introduced MagFlow, an ultraminiaturized neurovascular microcatheter designed to reach the smallest and most complex blood vessels in the human body. Unlike conventional catheters that rely on guidewires and manual
A team at the Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) has introduced a novel coil design that significantly improves the efficiency and safety of peripheral magnetic stimulation (PMS). This technology allows nerves to be stimulated using magnetic fields
Researchers at Concordia University have developed a new microchip that can monitor brain activity related to Alzheimer’s disease in real time. This technology could help scientists better understand how the disease progresses and lead to earlier and more accurate diagnoses.
A pilot study led by researchers at Goethe University Frankfurt and Münster University Hospital has shown that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can significantly reduce stuttering in patients with severe speech flow disorders. The team implanted a thin electrode into the
