Many neurological disorders are treated with electrical stimulation delivered through surgically implanted electrodes. These devices can help manage severe epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor, and other conditions when medications fail, but they require invasive brain surgery and place rigid metal […]
Magnetic Microparticles Provide a Less Invasive Method for Neural Stimulation Read More »
Glioblastoma remains one of the most difficult cancers to treat because its cells infiltrate healthy brain tissue, making complete surgical removal nearly impossible. Even when surgeons remove all visible tumor tissue, microscopic clusters often remain and lead to recurrence. The
Neurological disorders remain difficult to treat because most neuromodulation technologies can only activate or suppress neural activity in one direction, limiting their ability to provide fine control over complex brain circuits. A research team at Korea University College of Medicine
Implantable medical devices often struggle to balance size, heat generation and data capacity, making long‑term use uncomfortable and limiting their ability to diagnose or treat disease. Researchers led by the University of Glasgow have developed a new class of ultra‑small
Patients with severe sight loss or loss of motor function often have few treatment options because damaged neural pathways cannot be repaired easily, leaving them without reliable ways to regain vision or tactile sensation. Researchers now report that two major
Studying deep brain activity normally requires inserting rigid probes directly into neural tissue, a process that can cause inflammation, scarring, and long term disruption of the very circuits researchers hope to understand. Neuroscientists have long sought a way to record
Flexible Neural Sheet Reaches Deep Brain Regions Without Penetrating Tissue Read More »
Critically ill patients in intensive care units often face a hidden threat: oxygen deprivation in the brain that can lead to long term cognitive damage or even death. Traditional monitoring systems track heart rate, blood pressure, and blood oxygen levels,
Understanding how the brain responds to injury or disease is one of the biggest challenges in neuroscience, yet most tools for monitoring neural activity are rigid, invasive, or poorly matched to the soft, curved surface of the brain. These limitations

Many chronic conditions — from high blood pressure to diabetes — are now understood to involve miscommunication within the nervous system. As a result, neuromodulation, a technique that uses gentle electrical signals to rebalance nerve activity, is emerging as a

Researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI) University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed a 3D implant that delivers RNA‑carrying particles directly to damaged nerve cells to promote regeneration after spinal cord injury. The implant is
