Researchers are testing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for treatment-resistant depression. By acting as a “brain pacemaker,” the device targets white matter to help patients who haven’t found relief from standard medications or therapy.​

A new ultrasound wristband brings human dexterity to robots and VR. Using AI to decode muscle and tendon movements in the wrist, this wearable device can track 22 degrees of freedom for precise, real-time hand control.​ 

Adding TENS to physical therapy significantly reduces movement-based pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients. The effects are comparable to medication but without the risk of building tolerance.​ 

Researchers have discovered that gut lining cells trigger the neuroinflammation seen in Multiple Sclerosis. By mistakenly “presenting” antigens, these cells create pathogenic Th17 cells that migrate to the brain and spinal cord.​ 

A new study identifies a “resilience window” 60 minutes after stress. While physical stress fades quickly, the brain’s high-order recovery peaks an hour later, marking a shift from threat detection to internal reflection.​ 

A study of 1,965 people aged 5–100 reveals that brain wave speed is dictated by the brain’s physical wiring. The new Xi–αNET model shows that slowing alpha waves are a direct marker of declining white matter in aging.​ 

Researchers used machine learning to streamline the DISC personality test, reducing it from 40 questions to 10 with 91% accuracy. The AI approach also identifies complex “blended” personality traits that traditional methods miss.​ 

Researchers surveyed 504 children to define “good play” from a kid’s perspective. The study identifies seven key factors, including “play feeling” and “transgression,” and warns that adult interference often ruins the experience.​ 

Researchers identified the TIE2 protein as the “missing link” causing fragile blood vessel growth in the brain. Targeting this protein could prevent strokes and hemorrhages in patients with cerebral cavernous malformations (CCMs).​
