Mobia Medical markets Vivistim paired VNS system for chronic ischemic stroke

Mobia Medical markets the FDA-approved Vivistim Paired VNS System, an implanted vagus nerve stimulator the company says improves upper-limb function in chronic ischemic stroke survivors. The firm describes the device as delivering stimulation paired with movement to promote neuroplasticity.

Year-long aerobic exercise cut long-term cortisol in randomized trial, but most heart‑and‑brain markers were unchanged

A randomized year-long trial of 130 adults found 150 minutes/week of aerobic exercise reduced hair cortisol, a multi-month marker of systemic stress, while cholesterol, inflammation, vascular measures and MRI stress responses showed no clear change.

Implantable BCI enables rapid typing for two people with paralysis

Mass General Brigham and Brown researchers report an implantable intracortical BCI that let two BrainGate trial participants—one with ALS and one with a cervical spinal cord injury—type up to ~22 words per minute with a 1.6% word error rate after brief calibration.

Israeli team shows low‑frequency DBS of globus pallidus externus reverses schizophrenia‑like inflexibility in monkeys

A study published in Nature Communications shows 13 Hz deep brain stimulation of the globus pallidus externus improved error‑driven behavioral flexibility in two monkeys with PCP‑induced schizophrenia‑like deficits. The work identifies a basal‑ganglia circuit linked to a core symptom but is limited to a small animal model.

Spinal stimulator designed to be rigid for insertion then soften inside the body

Pohang University researchers published a spinal implant that remains rigid for insertion then softens in minutes using a water‑soluble layer; liquid metal conductors kept signals stable in rat tests that lowered blood pressure and recorded sensory responses.

UC Irvine-led team demonstrates brain-controlled exoskeleton walking with direct cortical leg sensation

A UC Irvine-led team reported a bidirectional brain-computer interface that allowed a participant to control an Ekso GT exoskeleton and perceive artificial leg sensations via direct cortical stimulation, with step-count accuracy near 93%. The prototype runs on a compact embedded platform and the authors describe a path toward fully implantable systems.

OPM directs FEHB carriers to favor prevention and non‑drug care for 2027; seeks monthly claims data

OPM told federal health insurers to emphasize prevention, non‑pharmaceutical care and digital therapeutics for plan year 2027, and asked carriers for monthly claims reports that could include identifiable data. The move follows sharp premium increases in 2026 and has drawn privacy concerns from employee groups.

Study reveals how bacteria 'selflessly' share DNA through GTAs

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.

Insellar raises €400,000 to develop BCI for treatment‑resistant depression

Berlin startup Insellar has secured €400,000 in pre‑seed funding from IBB Ventures and angels to develop a patent‑protected brain‑computer interface for treatment‑resistant depression and to build a functional prototype ahead of preclinical validation.

Monkeys steer a 3D virtual forest using an implanted intracortical BCI

A 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.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: clinicians outline causes, diagnosis and daily management

Two 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.

Abstract at 2026 CSM: GVS and differential spinal excitability measured with soleus H‑reflex

Sabarish 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.

A breakthrough for severe depression: MUSC Health delivers relief in days, not months

MUSC 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.

25-year scientometric study maps global research on vagus nerve stimulation in psychiatry

A 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.

High-density EEG and hybrid frequency–phase–space encoding push noninvasive visual BCI to 551 bpm peak

A 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.

Review maps how biophysical models and surrogate digital twins can speed neuroprosthetic design and tuning

A 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.
