A wireless, ontogenetic device that sends information directly to the brain has been developed by a team at Northwestern University. The soft, flexible device sits under the scalp, on top of the skull ...

For people with paralysis or amputation, neuroprosthetic systems that artificially stimulate muscle contraction with electrical current can help them regain limb function. However, despite many years ...

A project at MIT has investigated whether optogenetics could be a better way to drive muscle contraction in clinical treatments than traditional electrical stimulation. Published in Science Robotics, ...

Researchers developed a way to help people with amputation or paralysis regain limb control. Their optogenetic technique could offer more precise control over muscle contraction, along with a dramatic ...

A KAIST research team led by Professor Won Do Heo (Department of Biological Sciences) has developed an optogenetic platform, RELISR (REversible LIght-induced Store and Release), that enables precise ...

Within the nucleus accumbens shell, a spatially defined rostral subregion selectively modulates hedonic feeding, revealing functional heterogeneity in reward circuitry underlying food consumption.

Summary: Researchers have identified a specific signaling mechanism in brain immune cells that regulates anxiety and grooming ...

Two leading retinal specialists break down MCO-010's 3-year efficacy and safety data, the significance of contralateral eye ...

In the last few decades, individuals with mobility issues have seen a flurry of advancements in neuroprosthetic devices, artificial systems that seek to replace a particular sensation or lost ability.
