A new study provides fresh insight into gene transfer agents (GTAs), virus-like particles bacteria use to move DNA between cells, and clarifies how GTAs can spread genes — including those tied to antibiotic resistance.
Read moreA Science Advances paper shows three rhesus monkeys using an implanted intracortical BCI to steer avatars through a stereoscopic virtual forest. The decoder drew signals from M1, PMd and PMv and ran without retraining across multiple navigation tasks.
Read moreTwo Indian clinicians outlined the neurological features, diagnostic approach and day-to-day management of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, stressing clinical assessment, pacing and multidisciplinary follow-up.
Read moreSabarish Hariharan Narayanan submitted an abstract to the 2026 Combined Sections Meeting on how galvanic vestibular stimulation affects spinal network excitability measured via the soleus H‑reflex; the program listing includes only the title, with no data provided.
Read moreMUSC Health began offering SAINT (Stanford Neuromodulation Therapy) in 2024, providing an accelerated TMS protocol that MUSC reports produces ~80% remission by day five and a mean time to remission of 2.6 days for treatment-resistant depression.
Read moreA 25-year scientometric analysis charts global publication and citation patterns for vagus nerve stimulation in psychiatric research, highlighting where academic attention and research output have concentrated over the past quarter-century.
Read moreA March 26, 2026 paper in Cyborg and Bionic Systems reports a visual SSVEP BCI that averaged 472.7 bits/min online and hit a 551.4 bpm individual peak using hybrid frequency–phase–space encoding and a 66-parieto‑occipital high-density EEG setup.
Read moreA review synthesizes modeling work across DBS, spinal cord, vagus and peripheral nerve interfaces and recommends combining high-fidelity biophysical simulations with fast surrogate 'digital twin' models to speed device design and personalized stimulation. The authors call for more in vivo validation, standardized reporting, and open-source pipelines to bridge lab models and clinical programming.
Read moreEndometriosis Surgical Specialists International (ESSI) argues parasympathetic activation should be integrated into standard care for endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain and related GI symptoms, recommending a tailored menu from breathing and pelvic-floor therapy to tVNS and gut-directed CBT.
Read moreThe University of Kent’s Parkinson’s Centre for Integrated Therapy has published an overview of its research programme, emphasising non‑drug approaches such as taVNS, GVS, tDCS, exercise, EEG and sleep measures and supporting student and commercial studies.
Read moreA 2026 Scientific Reports paper by Bényei and Pajkossy finds pupil dilations during n‑back scale with memory load and show substantial test–retest reliability, with methods and preprocessing details for standardising pupillometry.
Read moreA Biological Psychology study found that self-reported disgust and sadness dilate pupils while anger leads to pupil constriction; results come from two lab experiments with 98 and 102 participants who rated five emotions after audio or image stimuli.
Read moreYatharth Super Speciality Hospital in Faridabad opened a dedicated Advanced Brain Stimulation Centre offering TMS and other non-invasive neuromodulation therapies for neurological and psychiatric conditions. The hospital describes the centre as an outpatient service aimed at patients who have not responded to medication.
Read moreA Translational Psychiatry study found that adding a three-day course of rTMS to standard care improved sleep duration and efficiency and reduced frontal hyperactivity in adults (18–40) with acute influenza; IgM and neutrophils correlated with sleep impairment. The trial was nonrandomized (n=55) and limited to younger adults.
Read moreIn a Gates Cambridge Conversations interview, Julia Maybury and Sri Jagannathan described their sleep research, covering human memory precision, fruit‑fly neural mapping, and trade‑offs between lab EEG and at‑home wearables.
Read moreJiangsu Cancer Hospital is recruiting 120 patients into a double‑blind RCT (ChiCTR2500112808) testing two sessions of transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (TaVNS) versus sham to reduce perioperative anxiety in laparoscopic colorectal cancer surgery; primary outcome is HADS‑A measured days 1–3 and at three months.
