A recent study by Goni-Erro et al (2023) in Nature Neuroscience has shed light on a fascinating phenomenon: the neural control of global motor arrest. From the cessation of goal-directed actions to a broader motor arrest in response to fear or environmental cues, this complex behavior involves an intricate set of neuronal pathways. This recent study reveals that the activation of ...

Humans are inherently social beings who thrive on making and maintaining social relationships. Connecting with and supporting one another forms deep bonds that make us feel seen, valued, and like we belong. These social interactions are not only important for our emotional well-being but also for our physical well-being-maybe even more so than originally thought. Loneliness, an increasingly ...
Highlights of Research A clinical study investigated transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Results indicate tVNS stimulates afferent fibers of the vagus nerve; and, that tVNS enhances creativity performance in divergent thinking. Divergent thinking is a thought process or methodology that is used to generate creative ideas by exploring a number of possible solutions to a problem. ...
Predicting Treatment Success Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for depression and an effective mood enhancer, showing benefits over similar treatments including traditional vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) which is invasive and costly. tVNS targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and works by applying a small electrical stimulation ...

Over the last few decades, scientists have gained a much better understanding of what happens to your brain during a concussion. It’s allowed them to understand better the devastating effects that a traumatic brain injury can have, and how to treat them properly. Unfortunately, the general public does not understand how nasty a concussion can be. To gain a better appreciation, you can start ...
One of the world’s leading figures in Artificial Intelligence, the renowned brain and cognitive scientist Newton Howard, PhD., will be at The Artificial Intelligence and Business Summit May 26 at the Intercontinental Dubai Festival City and will be available for interviews with Dubai and international media. The annual event for established professionals in the crypto and blockchain space ...
Is it possible to treat depression without medication or antidepressants? There is a simple answer to this question: Yes. Yes, it is. Most people don’t know that you can treat depression at home, medication-free. If they do, most people don’t know how. The fact is, you don’t need pills to reduce depressive symptoms or even to recover from depression. By making a few lifestyle ...
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used to treat multiple neuropsychiatric disorders, including Parkinson’s disease (PD). Despite widespread clinical use, its therapeutic mechanisms are unknown. Here, we developed a mouse model of subthalamic nucleus (STN) DBS for PD, to permit investigation using cell type–specific tools available in mice. We found that electrical STN DBS relieved ...
Generally, a countermeasure is an action taken to reduce or avoid the effects of an undesirable condition or situation. In managing fatigue, appropriate countermeasures can help improve alertness, maintain performance, and reduce drowsiness. Taking appropriate countermeasures at appropriate times should be a cornerstone of a fatigue risk management system (FRMS), and understanding more about ...
A prematurely aged brain has suffered years of abuse from our ever-increasingly toxic environment and unhealthy lifestyles. There is extensive research that shows HBOT may have an effect in rejuvenating a patient’s brain by stimulating the production of new blood vessels. Increased oxygen in the blood flow will re-energize dormant cells in the brain and create new ones. Oxygen to ...
What we eat and how it is processed by the gut is proving to be more important that ever. Research is showing that the gut microbiome has a significant impact on the brain. Brain health in impacted in significant ways both negatively and positively based upon the gut microbiome. Structural bacterial components can stimulate the brain to improve the immune system. When the gut microbiome is ...
Stuart Campbell, Clinical Sales Development Manager of the Neurological Products Division at Renishaw, discusses key trends on the use of robotics in neurosurgery. The curious case of Phineas Gage is one of the earliest and best known cases of serious brain injury. On September 13th, 1848, Gage was working as a railway foreman in Vermont when an explosion caused a three foot long iron rod to be ...
