In the first in-human clinical trial, scientists used a novel, skull-implantable ultrasound device to open the blood-brain barrier and repeatedly permeate large, critical regions of the human brain to ...

A new study has found that soft 3D-printed brain sensors can follow individual brain folds more closely than standard rigid ...

Antiamyloid antibodies have been used to reduce cerebral amyloid-beta (Aβ) load in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. We applied focused ultrasound with each of six monthly aducanumab infusions to ...

A brain biopsy is used to help diagnose brain lesions. Samples may be taken from the gray matter, white matter, or other sites. Brain biopsies can be done using a minimally invasive or open approach.

Scientists have developed the largest and most detailed computational models of rat hippocampal and somatosensory cortex regions to date. They have released these models and the tools for their use to ...

Tiny electronic chips that can be threaded into the brain through a needle instead of a scalpel are moving from speculative concept to early reality. Researchers are now testing injectable implants ...

A team of University of Melbourne biomedical engineers and their collaborators are seeking to develop a world-first brain stimulation treatment that uses ultrasound – delivered via a device within a ...

A brain biopsy is a medical procedure that involves removing a tissue sample from the brain. Doctors use it for diagnostic purposes. Doctors order brain biopsies to help them diagnose suspected brain ...
