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.

Three-day rTMS course improved sleep and reduced frontal overactivity in adults with acute influenza, study reports

A 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.
