Summary: Researchers have developed a groundbreaking ultrasound device that can stimulate several precise points in the brain at the same time, marking a leap forward in non-invasive neuromodulation. Unlike earlier single-spot approaches, this technology uses lower-intensity ultrasound pulses that reduce risks of overheating and uncontrolled brain excitation. The method also allows scientists to simultaneously visualize brain activity, giving them a …

A new experimental treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD) is offering fresh hope. A 44-year-old man, who struggled with severe depression for 31 years, experienced a remarkable turnaround after undergoing PACE (Personalized Adaptive Cortical Electro-Stimulation), as detailed in a recent preprint study on OSF. The Struggles of a Lifetime: A Patient’s Journey with Depression For over three decades, the patient in …

Researchers have pinpointed a specific region of the brain that may explain why older adults often feel less familiar with their surroundings as they age.  Experts from Stanford University analyzed over a dozen mice similar in age to humans, ranging from 20 to 90 years old.  As the mice ran through virtual reality simulations, their brains’ medial entorhinal cortex fired …

The tango’s complexity might make it particularly good for keeping the brain young.Credit: Tempura/Getty Whether it’s dancing the tango or playing the guitar, engaging in a creative pastime can slow brain ageing, according to a study of dancers, musicians, artists and video game players from multiple countries. The analysis used brain clocks — models that measure the difference between a …

Participants and demographics This report included a total of 1,467 healthy participants. We used data from 1240 healthy controls (HCs) from the EuroLaD EEG Consortium12, to train the SVM models, including participants from global settings. Specifically, 724 HCs were from the global north (Turkey, Greece, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Ireland) (age range 17–91 years, mean age 45.7 ± 22.6 years, 48.8% …

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: It used to be thought that without the cerebral cortex, consciousness could not exist. New research, however, has found that humans and animals missing part or all of their cortices are still capable of having experiences associated with consciousness. This research suggests that consciousness instead originates in the subcortex, and is …

This image shows a coronal section through the mouse brain after stroke and neural stem cell transplantation. The dashed circle indicates the stroke area. The neurite projections of the transplanted human cells are stained in dark brown. Neurites extend locally into the cortex (CX) but also via the corpus callosum (CC) into the other brain hemisphere.

The way our brain ages isn’t similar to how the body does. Gray hair and wrinkles are easily spotted, but the changes inside the brain or say, aging of the brain isn’t noticeable until, years later, its symptoms start to show. When the process of brain aging accelerates, it can lead to more than just memory lapses. It also increases …
