In new study published in Nature Biotechnology titled, “A non-surgical brain implant enabled through cell-electronics hybrid for focal neuromodulation,” researchers from Massachusetts Institute of ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers are working on microscopic, wireless chips that can travel through the bloodstream and self-implant in a targeted region of the brain. Photo courtesy ...

A new type of brain implant may have implications for both brain research and future treatments of neurological diseases such as epilepsy. Researchers from DTU, the University of Copenhagen, ...

Treating brain diseases is extraordinarily challenging, because drugs often work poorly and implants require risky surgery that can jeopardize critical brain functions. A group at MIT has sought a ...

The tiny chips hitch a ride on immune cells to target inflammation in the brain. Scientists hope to kick off clinical trials within three years. From restoring movement and speech in people with ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Direct stimulation within the brain holds potential to treat chronic pain. Stereo EEG and implantation are ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – What if clinicians could place tiny electronic chips in the brain that electrically stimulate a precise target, through a simple injection in the arm? This may someday help treat ...

Scientists have created a hair-thin implant that can drip medications deep into the brain by remote control and with pinpoint precision. Tested only in animals so far, if the device pans out it could ...

A series of converging advances in bio-implant technology, from brain-spine interfaces to lab-grown spinal tissue, is ...

Illustration of the mAxialtrode, showing how it combines light, electrical signals, and medication in a single needle-thin tube that can be used to control and measure brain activity in different ...

Surgically implanted devices that allow paralyzed people to speak can also eavesdrop on their inner monologue. That's the conclusion of a study of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) in the journal Cell.

Imagine a brain implant that could be placed without surgically opening a person's skull, but instead through a simple injection in the arm. Massachusetts Institute of Technology researchers are ...
