What do we know so far about this promising form of treatment and how it might help people with a range of neurological conditions? And is it living up to its promise for people with depression?
Existing brain connections may influence the effectiveness of neurostimulation. Tailoring treatments to each individual brain could expand the number of conditions brain stimulation can treat.
A new study finds that the cognitive loss from severe COVID is the same as losing 10 IQ points.
COVID-19 is not just a respiratory disease. Its neurocognitive symptoms are not well defined yet, so assessment is key to understanding the effects of coronavirus on the brain.
Biological research can inspire technological innovation. Also, software that models computer networks can inform health care for patients with neurological disorders.
The Trump administration has banned NIH researchers from using fetal tissue. The tissue is an essential tool for scientists investigating diseases ranging from Alzheimer’s to Zika virus infections.
Being inattentive and unable to focus rather than disruptive means that ADHD in girls is going undiagnosed.
Epilepsy affects around 70 million people globally, 80% live in developing countries. A shortage of specialists, equipment and drugs complicates effective treatment and management.
