In less than 90 minutes, a new, less invasive electrical stimulation technique has been found to improve breathing in people with sleep apnea. The technique, which involves percutaneous hypoglossal ...

Zapping your brain smart sounds either like a “don’t try at home” science experiment or something that Generation Alpha will regularly do before their trigonometry final. But for years, scientists ...

Breathwork is one of the most direct ways to influence the vagus nerve. “When we slow and lengthen the breath—particularly ...

The human brain's adaptability to internal and external changes, known as neural plasticity, forms the foundation for understanding cognitive functions like memory and learning, as well as various ...

Recent advances in the stimulation and assessment of nociceptive fibres have significantly enhanced our understanding of pain pathways and the treatment of neuropathic disorders. These techniques ...

New research suggests that the electrical complexity of the brain diminishes in early Alzheimer’s disease, potentially signaling a breakdown in the neural networks that support conscious awareness. By ...

“The findings are significant, particularly for patients who have tried other treatments and not seen desired results,” said Sabrina Segal, Ph.D., Director of Research at Family Care Center, who led ...

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and ovarian stimulation techniques have evolved substantially over recent decades, improving both clinical outcomes and patient well‐being. At its core, IVF involves the ...

With its billions of neurons and complex connections, the brain is highly delicate. Traditional surgery poses significant risks due to its invasive nature. Scientists seek non-invasive methods to ...

A study by the University of Sheffield has cast doubt on the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques in improving visual working memory. The research, published in Communications ...

Just 24 minutes of music paired with auditory simulation seemed to significantly reduce people's anxiety symptoms.

In a world where stress has become a near-constant companion for many, scientists and medical professionals have turned their attention to an unassuming hero within our bodies, the vagus nerve. This ...
