New CU Boulder research demonstrates that, with practice, older adults can regain manual dexterity that may have seemed lost Despite what ads for wrinkle cream would have us believe, there’s no magic reversal for aging. As the years pass, a certain amount of change…
A new technology that is able to translate our brain signals into speech has been developed by a team of neuroscientists, neurosurgeons and engineers at Duke University in North Carolina. The device—known as a speech prosthetic—is significantly faster than the best speech-decoding technologies available…
Researchers have identified the genetic pathway between the heart and brain responsible for fainting, revealing a two-way communication that could lead to new treatments for syncope-related disorders. Neurobiologists have discovered sensory neurons that regulate fainting, providing a foundation for targeted treatments for related disorders….
