A new study examines how molecules producing erections may change the way we think and hear.
Paralyzed People Using Computers, Amputees Controlling Bionic Limbs, With Microelectrodes On (Not In) Brain
Experimental devices that read brain signals have helped paralyzed people use computers and may let amputees control bionic limbs. But existing devices use tiny electrodes that poke into the brain. A new study shows that brain signals controlling arm movements can be detected accurately using new microelectrodes that sit on the brain but don’t penetrate it.
Alcohol’s inebriating effects are familiar to almost everyone. But the molecular details of alcohol’s impact on brain activity remain a mystery. A new study brings us closer to understanding how alcohol alters the way brain cells work.
Researchers Tackle Childhood Epilepsy
Two new studies demonstrate a need for more vigilant monitoring for seizure activity among intensive care patients who may be experiencing subtle seizures that are typically unrecognized. These subtle seizures may be affecting patients’ prognoses and causing long-term brain damage, death and severe disability.
Innovative Surgical Technique Gives Hope To Patients Suffering From Refractory Epilepsy
Clinicians have perfected an operation, which was previously considered too dangerous, to control refractory insular epilepsy, using an innovative microsurgery technique. According to a recent study, the new surgical technique is both safe and beneficial for patients.
