Brain stimulation techniques can correct abnormal activity in the neural circuits involved in conditions such as Parkinson's disease and depression. However, current transcranial stimulation methods ...

When most people hear the words “brain surgery,” they recoil. I did too.

This EEG (electroencephalogram) illustration shows generalized epilepsy, affecting the whole brain cortex: all the EEG traces show chaotic brain waves. Epilepsy can take many forms, and have different ...

A recent study by Simon Fraser University researchers has revealed how an overlooked type of indirect brain damage contributes to ongoing disability after a stroke. "Our findings suggest that indirect ...

Epilepsy is best known for seizures, but many people with the condition also experience much more frequent and subtler disruptions. These brief bursts of abnormal brain activity, called interictal ...

The study was published online in Advanced Science on August 13, 2025. "We discovered that an abnormal activity of shootin1b promotes the movement of cancer cells and spread of glioblastoma, the most ...

India, June 8 -- World Brain Tumor Day is observed every year on June 8 to raise awareness about brain tumors, promote early ...

Hans Berger recorded the first human EEG in 1924. EEG records electrical activity via 16–25 scalp electrodes. Focal “slowing” in brain waves can indicate tumors or lesions. Patients must avoid ...
