Implantable AI signal processing optimizes adaptive deep brain stimulation therapy

A research team led by Professor Ji-Woong Choi of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at DGIST (President Kunwoo Lee), in collaboration with research teams led by Professor Han-Joon Kim of Kumoh National Institute of Technology, Professor Kyong Hwan Jin of Korea University, and Dr. Jong-Cheol Rah of the Korea Brain Research Institute, has developed "NONOS," a deep-learning-based analysis technology that precisely separates "rhythms" from the underlying "background signals" in brain signals with high temporal resolution.

Graded physical activity prescriptions improve functional outcomes in psychiatry

Most of us have heard the advice so often that it has worn smooth, like a stone in a river: get some exercise. A new peer-reviewed Viewpoint in Brain Health, drawing on randomized trials, meta-analyses, and cohort studies, argues that this familiar sentence has been doing the wrong job.

Tau spreads more rapidly in early-onset Alzheimer's disease

Patients with early-onset Alzheimer's disease, whose symptoms start before age 65, have more extensive deposits of tau, a hallmark protein of the condition, compared with patients whose symptoms start at 65-plus, a new study found.

Brain scans reveal clues to Alzheimer's risk years before memory loss begins

Inside the brains of some cognitively normal adults, firing patterns were able to foretell Alzheimer's disease years before the onset of memory loss or the accumulation of plaques and tangles, according to new Stanford Medicine-led research.

Novel treatment clears dementia-linked proteins from the waking brain

The brain's own clearance mechanisms are most active during sleep. Researchers have now shown that this natural clearance process can also be enhanced while people are awake.

Can pregnancy leave a lasting mark on biological aging?

A review examines how pregnancy spacing affects maternal aging, proposing that insufficient recovery may lead to cumulative biological aging and health risks.

Mindfulness-based behavioral therapy changes brain responses to reduce opioid cravings

Mindfulness-Oriented Recovery Enhancement (MORE), a behavioral therapy used alongside medication treatment, may help people with opioid use disorder respond differently to drug-related cues and natural rewards, according to a randomized clinical trial led by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai.

LINAC-based radiosurgery effectively reduces seizures but causes significant side effects

Drug-resistant epilepsy types, such as mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE), are surgically managed through anterior temporal lobectomy (ATL).

Children's brain reward responses may explain ultra-processed food-related weight gain

Children who eat more ultra-processed foods (UPFs) show stronger responses in the brain's reward network when viewing images of appetizing foods-and these brain responses are linked to increases in body fat one year later.

Blood biomarker test improves detection of hidden brain injuries

Clinician-scientists hope to expand the use of blood-based biomarker tests for traumatic brain injury (TBI) to improve identification and escalation of care for patients whose diagnosis otherwise might be missed.

What can 6,000 brain scans tell us about Alzheimer's?

KARI's multimodal imaging dataset reveals critical insights into Alzheimer's disease, linking amyloid, tau, and brain structure to cognitive performance.

Accelerated TMS cuts depression treatment time from six weeks to three

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has proved to be a very effective non-invasive treatment for people with severe depression who have not had success with medication. But traditional TMS has one significant drawback: time.

Global study aims to map brain changes across eight psychiatric disorders

Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC will lead a worldwide effort to map how eight common psychiatric disorders affect brain function, supported by a five-year, $3.2 million grant from the National Institutes of Health.

Japanese study links postpartum depression to mother-infant bonding difficulties

A Japanese study found that higher postpartum depression scores were associated with greater mother–infant bonding difficulties.

Increased risk-taking behavior precedes higher alcohol consumption, study finds

A novel study has found that increases in risk-taking behavior in people with mild to moderate alcohol use disorder (AUD) precede increases in alcohol consumption, not vice versa.

A study links a blood protein to memory and brain changes in Down syndrome

Researchers studying 88 adults with Down syndrome and 43 controls estimated that serum β-synuclein increased approximately two decades before expected Alzheimer’s symptoms, preceding changes in other blood biomarkers. Higher levels correlated with poorer memory and brain changes, but the cross-sectional study could not distinguish whether the earliest increase reflected Alzheimer’s-related synaptic dysfunction, trisomy 21-related neurobiology, or both.
