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 …

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 …

Researchers have created human eggs from skin cells, potentially transforming IVF treatment for couples who have no other options. The work is at an early stage but if scientists can perfect the process it would provide genetically related eggs for women who are infertile because of older age, illness or medical treatment. The same procedure could be used to make …

Imagine knowing in your 20s or 30s that you carry a gene that will cause your mind and body to slowly unravel. Huntington’s disease is inherited, relentless, and fatal, and there is no cure. Families live with the certainty of decline stretching across generations. Now, a new treatment is being widely reported as a breakthrough. Related: Breakthrough Gene Therapy Slows …
