For decades, scientists have searched for a safe way to reach deep parts of the human brain without cutting into the skull.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has shown promise as a treatment for some symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). However, not all symptoms improve equally well with DBS. A better understanding of how ...

Novel magnetic nanodiscs could provide a much less invasive way of stimulating parts of the brain, paving the way for stimulation therapies without implants or genetic modification, MIT researchers ...

A new study led by Bucknell University Professor Karlo Malaga, biomedical engineering, has identified key insights into optimizing deep brain stimulation (DBS) for Parkinson's disease patients.

As humans, we tend to consider our emotional states as a direct response to the experiences of our lives. Traffic may make us frustrated, betrayal may make us angry, or the ever-grinding wear of ...
