Protecting Implantable Neurostimulators With Graphene to Enhance Device Longevity
Surgically implanted neurostimulators are presently used for many diseases, ranging from movement disorders, like Parkinson’s, to chronic pain. But as current research efforts suggest, their use will potentially expand to mood disorders, such as...

Microrobot Developed for Delivery of Stem Cells to the Brain
Researchers from Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST) in South Korea have developed a new microrobot that can precisely deliver therapeutic cells to very specific parts of the brain. Their work, recently published in...

Researchers Trip People to Improve Prosthetic Legs
People using prosthetic legs have to be constantly vigilant about potential obstacles in their way. That is because if they stumble, there's a pretty good chance that they'll suffer a fall. Prosthetic legs, even powered ones, don't have the...

Electric Brain Stimulation Shown to Improve Memory Function
Our memories often seem ephemeral, coming and going without any obvious reasons. Researchers at UCLA seem to have come up with a way to bring some memories back that would probably otherwise have gone missing forever. The team relied on...

New Microfluidic Chip to Accurately Model Blood-Brain Barrier
Researchers from the Wyss Institute at Harvard University have developed a new microfluidic lab-on-a-chip device that aims to more accurately model the complex biological properties of the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Their work, recently...

New AI Tool, HeadXNet, to Help Detect Brain Aneurysms
Researchers from Stanford University have developed a new AI tool, dubbed HeadXNet that detects brain aneurysms from computed tomographic angiography (CTA) scans. Their work, recently published in JAMA Network Open, demonstrates that their AI tool...

Crisper MRI Now Possible Thanks to Helical Resonator Metamaterials
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a complicated imaging modality and improving it requires a deep understanding of the physics involved. Scientists at Boston University have been working on improving MRI's signal-to-noise ratio using special...

Scientists Develop Accurate Model of Blood-Brain Barrier
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is the primary reason that so few medicines exist to treat brain conditions. Drugs that can attack tumors elsewhere usually can't penetrate the defenses of the BBB, so figuring out how to get through it is important...
