Electrically Stimulating a Specific Brain Region using Ultrafine Wires Enhances Memory

Neuroscientists at UCLA have found that electrically stimulating a specific area of the brain using ultrafine wires enhances memory in epilepsy patients. If the technique can enhance memory in other patients, it might help with conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Our memory naturally declines with age, and in conditions such as Alzheimer’s, pe (Read more...)
