A team of researchers has shown that noninvasive electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve through the ear can reverse memory ...

Memory is commonly affected following a traumatic brain injury and may be long-lasting or even permanent. A new study has found that AI-guided electrical brain stimulation in people with ...

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) for 20 minutes over 4 consecutive days can improve both short- and long-term memory for at least 1 month in older adults, new research suggests. The ...

While we’re asleep at night, our brain is doing something incredible. The hippocampus and the neocortex, two of its key regions, talk back and forth, processing information for long-term ...

Electrical brain stimulation may have the potential to improve verbal memory, results of a small study of patients with epilepsy suggest. Investigators observed improvements in patients implanted with ...

Combining virtual reality and non-invasive deep-brain electrical stimulation, researchers have improved healthy individuals’ spatial memory – the kind that helps you remember where you left the car ...

For some adults, the use of a responsive neurostimulation (RNS) system implanted in the brain can help lessen or control seizures related to certain types of epilepsy. The device works similar to a ...

This study was conducted by research teams such as Nicholas Ketz and Praveen Pilly of the University of New Mexico. Research has been conducted with funds provided by the US Department of Defense, and ...

A gentle pulse of electricity appears to improve older people’s ability to remember lists of words—even a month later. Many of us will struggle to remember things as we get older. A gentle form of ...

For four consecutive days, 150 senior citizens pulled on a swim-like cap and allowed parts of their brain to be bathed with low-dose electrical pulses. During 20-minute sessions, they were given five ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers evaluate the effectiveness of repetitive neuromodulation in improving the working memory (WM) and long-term memory (LTM) of ...

A team from the Institute of Neurosciences of the University of Barcelona (UBneuro) has discovered that early and sustained cognitive stimulation can help preserve brain connectivity and memory in ...
