Linking exercise with improved mental health outcomes is certainly not a new concept, with previous individual studies looking at the effects of physical activity on schizophrenia, anxiety and depression, as well as analysis of the duration and type of… Continue reading Exercise could be the first line of attack in mental health treatment
Bioelectronics is a burgeoning medical field, but it may have just taken a giant leap forward, with scientists successfully growing electrodes in living tissue, paving the way for fully integrated electronic circuits to treat neurological disorders.Con… Continue reading In a world first, gel triggers electrode creation in living organisms
Migraine and glucose-related traits such as fasting insulin and type 2 diabetes are widely understood to be common comorbid disorders, but now scientists have a concrete genetic link that could see a new area of therapy developed for the debilitating d… Continue reading Genetic link between migraine and blood sugar levels confirmed
Synthetic opioids like fentanyl are now the main drivers of fatal overdoses in the US, yet current treatment of the addiction is haphazard and often prohibitive. But new research has uncovered a neurological mechanism that could lead to targeted and mo… Continue reading Brain circuit breakthrough paves way for opioid addiction treatments
The days of ripping off a Band-Aid could soon be in the past, with scientists creating a new affordable, flexible electronic covering that not only speeds and wirelessly monitors healing but performs a disappearing act by being harmlessly absorbed into… Continue reading Electronic bandage speeds wound healing and dissolves into body after use
