In new results from a clinical trial, researchers show that electrical stimulation of the spinal cord can restore the muscle control and sensory feedback required for coordinated walking movements.

A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory deficits caused by acute stress in mice, pinpointing a specific protein ...

The effects of spinal cord injuries are complex and multifaceted. People lose not only the ability to control the movement of their limbs, but also the ability to receive sensory feedback from them.

It's an unfortunate fact of life — as we age, we tend to become more forgetful. Aging brains struggle especially with working memory. Called the workbench of the mind, working memory allows us to ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. This piece discusses advances in vagus nerve stimulation. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection ...

Distinguishing between arginine vasopressin (AVP) deficiency and primary polydipsia is challenging. Hypertonic saline–stimulated copeptin has been used to diagnose AVP deficiency with high accuracy ...

High‑frequency brain stimulation that synchronizes frontal–parietal activity led people to choose more generously, suggesting that altruism depends on rapid neural coordination.
