We Just Got More New Evidence That Parkinson's Starts in the Gut - Not the Brain

posted on 4/28/2017 8:59:00 PM

Scientists have found more new evidence that Parkinson's could start in the gut before spreading to the brain, observing lower rates of the disease in patients who had undergone a procedure called a truncal vagotomy.

Brain Stimulation Restores Memory During Lapses

posted on 4/21/2017 8:09:00 PM

A team of neuroscientists at the University of Pennsylvania has shown for the first time that electrical stimulation delivered when memory is predicted to fail can improve memory function in the human brain. That same stimulation generally becomes disruptive when electrical pulses arrive during periods of effective memory function.
