Theta-burst magnetic stimulation improved communication in children with autism in 194-child trial

A randomized BMJ trial of 194 children (average age ~6.5) found that a five-day course of theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation improved social communication and language, with effects still seen at one month and no serious adverse events reported.

Tulsa team tests low‑intensity focused ultrasound for treatment‑resistant depression

Tulsa’s Laureate Institute for Brain Research is running a federally funded trial using low‑intensity focused ultrasound to probe and modulate deep brain circuits in people with treatment‑resistant depression; investigators say the work is exploratory and not a cure.

Three tVNS clinical trials listed as recruiting for aphasia, alcohol dependence and post‑aSAH care

Three recruiting clinical trials are testing transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS): an ear‑device plus speech therapy for post‑stroke aphasia, neuromodulation with mindfulness for alcohol dependence, and a tolerability study after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.

Read-only wearables are giving way to read-write devices that actively intervene in the body

Companies including Vibe Science and Elemind are pushing wearables from passive sensing toward devices that both read physiology and deliver timed interventions, raising questions about evidence, safety, and integration with clinical systems.

Fluent develops under‑scalp BCI to decode attempted speech

Fluent, a University of Melbourne spinout, is developing an insertable under‑scalp BCI that records motor‑cortex activity and uses machine learning to convert attempted speech into text or audio. The company reports preliminary human testing and says clinical studies are scheduled later this year.

Paper shows Soto–Alexandrov vestibular neuron model reduces to second-order near Hopf point

A Moscow University Mechanics Bulletin paper demonstrates that the Soto–Alexandrov third‑order model of vestibular afferent neurons can be reduced to a second‑order system near an Andronov–Hopf bifurcation by approximating the potassium inactivation variable hK as constant (≈0.875). The reduction preserves the model’s limit‑cycle projection and simplifies analysis of bistability and state transitions.

Eight weeks of device-guided slow breathing reduces sympathetic nerve spikes in veterans with PTSD

A randomized, double-blind trial of 25 veterans with PTSD found that eight weeks of daily device-guided slow breathing reduced muscle sympathetic nerve responses to an acute mental-stress task, though resting blood pressure and heart rate were unchanged.

VR plus nerve stimulation improves arm and hand recovery after stroke

A 2026 randomized feasibility trial in Nature Medicine found that MultiSensy — immersive VR synchronized with transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation — produced larger improvements in upper-limb motor scores, functional use, and touch perception than conventional rehab in 34 patients more than three months after stroke.

Common constipation drug improved memory and attention in people with remitted depression

A randomized trial of 50 adults in remission from depression found that one week of 2 mg daily prucalopride improved memory, attention and processing speed versus placebo, with no significant short-term side effects. The study appears in Psychological Medicine (15 June 2026, DOI linked).

Vagus nerve implicated in α‑synuclein spread in Parkinson’s and in cholinergic/inflammatory pathways in Alzheimer’s

Recent experimental and neuropathology studies reinforce the vagus nerve’s role in Parkinson’s—where gut‑origin α‑synuclein can travel to the brainstem—and implicate vagal pathways in Alzheimer’s via cholinergic and inflammatory networks. Early clinical trials and a 2025 meta‑analysis show promising but inconsistent effects for noninvasive VNS.
