Two technologies, one disease: Connecting DBS and focused ultrasound for Parkinson's disease management
Parkinson's disease is no longer viewed as a faraway neurological ailment buried in textbooks. More than 10 million people are already affected worldwide, and the number is continually climbing. Men are somewhat more impacted ...
Study links ADHD to a measurable brain activity pattern, with early signs it may be modifiable
A new study suggests that children with ADHD may exhibit a distinctive, measurable pattern of brain activity that could reflect differences in neural efficiency. The researchers focus on aperiodic EEG activity, proposing ...

From mind-controlling tech to clinical therapy: An optogenetics roadmap
Researchers at the University of Geneva, together with colleagues in Switzerland, France, the United States and Israel, describe how optogenetic control of brain cells and circuits is already steering both indirect neuromodulatory ...
Light-based brain therapy shows promise in cutting opioid cravings and relapse
Washington State University researchers have discovered how a neural circuit—or a connection between two brain regions—drives relapse after opioid use, a finding that could lead to more effective treatments for opioid ...
