Brain stimulation helps partially paralyzed patients walk again - Two patients with spinal injuries have seen improvements in their ability to walk again, thanks to deep brain stimulation (DBS). Intriguingly, the therapy targets a region of the brain that normally isn’t associated with motor skills.

🧠 University of Iowa neuroscientists have shown non-invasive brain stimulation (TMS) can effectively change activity in the deep brain's hippocampus, crucial for emotion and memory.

💡 Personalizing the stimulation site using a patient's unique brain connections significantly boosted the neuromodulation effect in a study of 8 neurosurgical patients.

📈 In a separate non-invasive study with 79 healthy participants using TMS with fMRI, stronger connectivity between the stimulation site and the hippocampus correlated with stronger responses.

Noninvasive magnetic stimulation of a specific brain region that regulates self-control significantly reduced how much people smoked, reduced nicotine cravings and may help people quit, finds new double-blind, sham-controlled randomized clinical trial.

🧠 New study suggests a brain stimulation technique, rTMS, can significantly reduce smoking. Researchers at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center found that stimulating the brain's "self-control" region (DLPFC) led to an average reduction of over 11 cigarettes per day.

🧠 This brain-based approach targets the imbalance in addiction, where reward systems become overactive and control systems weaker. The high-frequency stimulation to the DLPFC enhanced the brain's control center and showed lasting effects for at least a month, unlike approaches targeting reward signals.

🧠 The findings, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research on March 4, 2026, indicate that strengthening the brain's ability to say "no" may be a more effective strategy for smoking cessation than trying to suppress cravings.

⚡ A new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience indicates that applying a specific pattern of mild electrical stimulation to the brain can help individuals with high social anxiety better control automatic avoidance behaviors by synchronizing brain centers.

⚡ In a small study of 49 adults with high social anxiety, researchers used dual-site transcranial alternating current stimulation to synchronize brain regions responsible for cognitive control and movement.

⚡ Participants performed better on a challenging task requiring them to override emotional impulses when receiving "in-phase" electrical stimulation, which strengthened connections between brain areas and reduced the amygdala's influence on movements.

⚡ The intervention showed promising results in helping participants override automatic reactions, with benefits potentially enhanced by individual brain responses and anatomy, paving the way for future personalized treatments.
