A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

A new study suggests that a promising noninvasive brain stimulation technique may not function exactly as psychiatrists had ...

Scientists use non-invasive brain stimulation to synchronize the frontal and parietal lobes, successfully increasing altruistic behavior in participants.

A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, ...

Scientists still don’t know how the brain turns physical activity into thoughts, feelings, and awareness—but a powerful new tool may help crack the mystery. Researchers at MIT are exploring ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

Researchers have uncovered a fast-acting brain network that may determine how effectively deep brain stimulation improves Parkinson’s symptoms. Parkinson’s disease can make everyday movements slow, ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed an innovative, non-invasive brain stimulation therapy to significantly improve visual function in stroke patients who have suffered vision loss following a stroke.

A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, chronic hair-pulling ...
