Researchers published a new study mapping single-cell gene expression and neural synchronization during DBS in living human tissue.

Neurons that once encoded a person's memories are now helping researchers identify genetic targets that may one day help ...

While we’re asleep at night, our brain is doing something incredible. The hippocampus and the neocortex, two of its key regions, talk back and forth, processing information for long-term ...

Microelectrode array stimulation was integrated with simultaneous recording and single-nucleus genomics from resected ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for 20 minutes over 4 consecutive days can improve both short- and long-term memory for at least 1 month in older adults, new research suggests. The ...

Researchers developed a novel “closed-loop” system that delivered electrical pulses in a brain region to synchronize brain activity recorded from another region in the brain to improve memory. Among ...

For four consecutive days, 150 senior citizens pulled on a swim-like cap and allowed parts of their brain to be bathed with low-dose electrical pulses. During 20-minute sessions, they were given five ...

A study by the University of Sheffield has cast doubt on the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in improving visual working memory. The research, published in Communications ...

A gentle pulse of electricity appears to improve older people’s ability to remember lists of words—even a month later. Many of us will struggle to remember things as we get older. A gentle form of ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. A study on the brain stimulation titled "Long-lasting, dissociable improvements in working memory and long-term memory in older adults with repetitive ...
