A recent study by the Laboratory for Neuro-Analysis and Imaging (LANAI) at UMass Chan Medical School highlights how ...

Deep-brain structures like the basal ganglia or the thalamus wield major influence on our behavior. If something goes awry, dysregulation in the deep brain may trigger neurological conditions like ...

An ultrasound device that can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery has been developed by researchers from UCL and the University of Oxford, opening up new possibilities for ...

Neuroscientists have faced a longstanding challenge. Many important cerebral processes, including learning, memory formation and decision-making, are regulated by structures deep within the brain. But ...

Catheter-based polarization-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PS-OCT) enables high-resolution intraoperative visualization of deep brain structures, offering a powerful complement to MRI for ...

Researchers have developed a transcranial ultrasound stimulation system that can noninvasively target deep brain structures with precision. In tests on healthy volunteers, the device targeted the ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) involves implanting electrodes into specific brain areas to regulate abnormal activity, as a surgical treatment for neurological disorders such as Parkinson's disease.
