A new study uses optogenetics to induce localized sleep in awake mice, reversing memory loss from sleep deprivation.

These effects are based on brain plasticity — the brain’s ability to reshape itself in response to experiences and learning.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique delivered via a coil placed onto the scalp. The TMS coil generates a focused magnetic field that activates neurons ...

Recent research demonstrates that transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), a treatment widely used for depression, may also ...
