Experimental stem cell treatments offer another potential way to manage Parkinson’s—these techniques seek not only to replace or mimic dopamine, but to repair the brain circuitry lost due to P ...

In previous research, Camilla Bellone's team identified a neuronal communication pathway whose role is to send information between the superior colliculus, a brain structure linked to orientation ...

For decades, scientists assumed that neural stem cells (NSCs) only occur in the brain and spinal cord. A new international study, led by Hans Schöler of the Max Planck Institute for Molecular ...

IN 1697, John Dryden, translating the Roman poet Virgil, wrote that “From one root the rising stem bestows a wood of leaves, and vi’let-purple boughs.” More than 150 years later, the German naturalist ...

However, deep brain stimulation of the nucleus basalis of Meynert (NBM-DBS) has been reported to improve cognitive function in individuals with AD. Here, we report the effects of NBM-DBS on cognitive ...

Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a promising therapy for TRD patients. However, its safety and efficacy are still unclear. Here we reported the safety and efficacy of lateral habenula (LHb) DBS for a ...
