Mayo Clinic pioneers use of pulsed field ablation to treat atrial fibrillation

Cardiologists in Mayo Clinic’s Heart Rhythm Clinic are using a new innovative energy source to safely and successfully treat a common type of heart arrhythmia. The therapy, called pulsed field ablation (PFA), has received Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval and represents a significant milestone in treating atrial fibrillation (AFib). The irregular and often very […]

New optical neural chip technology reveals unexpected dopamine dynamics

DGIST (President Lee Kunwoo) Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain requires fast neural signal processing in a short period of less than a second. Dopamine is known to have the strongest […]

Cryo-EM reveals TAF15 as potential treatment target for frontotemporal dementia

An international team of researchers including experts at the Indiana University School of Medicine has identified a protein found in the brains of people with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), discovering a new target for potential treatments for the disease. According to the National Institutes of Health, FTD results from damage to neurons in the frontal and […]

Experimental deep brain stimulation offers hope to treat cognitive deficits after traumatic brain injuries

Five people who had life-altering, seemingly irreversible cognitive deficits following moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries showed substantial improvements in their cognition and quality of life after receiving an experimental form of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a phase 1 clinical trial. The trial, reported Dec. 4 in Nature Medicine, was led by investigators at […]

Research sheds light on the causes of endometriosis-related pelvic pain

Pelvic pain in women with endometriosis is attributed to neuroinflammation. Researchers investigated biochemical mediators of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain to provide a foundation to identify new drugs to improve symptoms and quality of life. They postulated that novel therapeutic targets for pelvic pain in endometriosis are regulated by interleukin-1β (IL-1β) via the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) […]
