South Korean researchers have developed Nano-MIND, a system using magnetized nanoparticles and magnetic fields to remotely control specific brain regions in mice, enabling precise manipulation of behaviors like appetite, social interaction and maternal instincts. Unlike invasive methods such as optogenetics, Nano-MIND is wireless and non-invasive, using nanoparticles as "switches" activated by external magnetic fields to … Continue reading Scientists develop world’s first magnetic nanoparticle technology to remotely control behavior
New treatment for Parkinson’s is nonsurgical AND reduces need for meds; focused ultrasound will treat symptoms noninvasively
The treatment of Parkinson’s disease can be highly problematic. More often than not, those who are suffering from Parkinson’s need to be subjected to surgical forms of treatment and take a number of different meds that can help keep things under control. But it looks like things might change soon if a newly-devised method that is both non-invasive … Continue reading New treatment for Parkinson’s is nonsurgical AND reduces need for meds; focused ultrasound will treat symptoms noninvasively
The Real Danger Behind MRIs
Source: The Real Danger Behind MRIs by Dr. Edward Group Magnetic resonance imaging is a common preventative and diagnostic method used in medicine, and at times this technology can be invaluable. Of course there are some health questions associated with the practice, in particular — what’s the effect of the powerful magnetic fields? But, now, not only are … Continue reading The Real Danger Behind MRIs
