The first in-human trial to use a novel ultrasound device to temporarily open the blood-brain barrier to deliver chemotherapy reveals that the procedure led to an increase in drug concentrations in ...

A new trick uses precise ultrasound imaging — the same kind that lets parents-to-be see their kid before it’s born — to read and even predict activity within the brain. All in all, that predictive ...

The question of whether invasive or noninvasive methods provide the best possible outcomes for patients with ...

Merge Labs, a brain-computer interface startup that seeks to read brain activity using ultrasound, is being spun out of ...

There are times when hibernating would be useful, like surgery or space travel, and we’re getting closer to being able to do so on demand in humans. Scientists have now demonstrated a way to induce a ...

A new study has found that using ultrasound to target specific areas of the brain causes functional changes that last for up to an hour. The findings pave the way for the development of non-invasive ...

WASHINGTON - Scientists have found a way to help Alzheimer’s drugs seep inside the brain faster — by temporarily breaching its protective shield. The novel experiment was a first attempt on just three ...

For the first time, a new ultrasound technique allows researchers to stimulate multiple locations in the brain simultaneously. This opens up new possibilities for treating devastating brain diseases ...

Focused ultrasound can be used to open the blood–brain barrier, enabling delivery of drugs into the brain. (Courtesy: Kevin Van Paassen, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre) “Focused ultrasound is a ...

Exposure to ultrasound can affect fetal brain development, a new study suggests. But researchers say the findings, in mice, should not discourage pregnant women from having ultrasound scans for ...
