Summary: Brain activity can be conditioned through external brain stimulation, researchers discovered. The findings have implications for using TMS as a therapeutic approach, potentially leading to more straightforward treatment for conditions such as Parkinson’s disease and depression. Source: RUB Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, have successfully implemented a special form of classical conditioning. They showed in a group of...
APRIL 24, 2023 by Study Finds BALTIMORE — A “miracle” gel that cures brain tumors in mice could offer new hope for human cancer patients, a new study reveals. Researchers at John Hopkins University say the medication delivered by the substance stops 100 percent of an aggressive form of brain cancer within mice. The “striking” result provides new...
