Brain Zapping

Involving 36 volunteers, the study found that stimulating the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) was more effective than the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (VLPFC) in reducing symptoms of depression and anxiety.

New York: Electrifying brain circuits could treat neurological and psychiatric symptoms not because it causes neurons to fire but it creates an environment that makes it more or less likely for neurons to fire, researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have found. Rather than taking medication, a growing number of people who suffer from chronic...

Scientists, inluding one of Indian origin, have developed a new technique that can map how zapping the brain with weak electric current improves cognition and treats clinical symptoms - a breakthrough that may help better develop this low-cost brain hack.

In a first, scientists including one of Indian origin, have discovered that stimulating the brain during sleep may strengthen memory, a finding that may lead to a non-invasive method to help people with conditions such as autism and Alzheimer's disease.

Stimulating a region of the brain for 20 minutes with a mild electrical current may improve vision for about two hours, and those with worse eyesight see the most improvement, a new study has found.

Besides making you tired, lack of adequate sleep can short-circuit your system and interfere with a fundamental cellular process that drives physical growth, physiological adaptation and even brain activity, new research has found.
