Handy folks who want the kind of jolt that caffeine can't give have been turning to self-stimulation of the electrical sort--to their brains. Neuroscience researchers at the University of Pennsylvania ...

Researchers discovered that different types of neurons showed distinct patterns of 'syncing up' with electrical fields. These patterns varied depending on the rate at which the electrical stimulation ...

Brain stimulation therapies use electrical currents to alter the brain’s activity. They can treat conditions such as major depression and substance misuse disorder. However, side effects such as ...

(A) Maze channel design, (B) guiding electric stimulation, (C) punishing electric stimulation, and (D) punishing heat stimulation. The lower-right image is a thermal image of the maze surface. The ...

A new study led by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine found that the use of a take-home electrical stimulation device improved muscle perfusion, the rate at which oxygen is delivered to muscles ...

Being able to noninvasively stimulate the deep brain without stimulating shallow regions is a key goal of non-invasive neurostimulation. Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) is commonly used for ...

Dysphagia, a severe comorbidity of many neurological diseases, often lacks targeted therapies. This critical review assessed ...
