As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it’s recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

In a recent study published in Nature Human Behaviour, researchers investigated the causal contribution of specific oscillatory activity patterns within the human striatum to reinforcement motor ...

Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

Targeted deep brain stimulation improves spatial navigation in virtual reality study, offering new hope for treating cognitive impairments like dementia. Study: Noninvasive modulation of the ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

Persons with Parkinson's disease increasingly lose their mobility over time and are eventually unable to walk. Hope for these patients rests on deep brain stimulation, also known as a brain pacemaker.

"The difficulty lies, not in the new ideas, but in escaping from the old ones, which ramify...into every corner of our mind." - John Maynard Keynes Try connecting all nine of these dots with just four ...

An early-stage clinical trial has shown that deep brain stimulation (DBS) applied to the cerebellum may aid the recovery of upper limb function after stroke. Researchers studied 12 people with ...

Each year, thousands of stroke survivors are left with hemianopia, a condition that causes loss of half of their visual field (the “vertical midline”). Hemianopia severely affects daily activities ...
