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.

Deep brain stimulation successful for one in two patients with treatment-resistant severe depression and anxiety
Significantly, the study, led by researchers in the UK and China, identified a telltale signature of brain activity that predicted how well individual patients responded to the treatment. This could
Researchers uncovered the first evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can remodel white matter pathways in the brain and alter communication across large-scale neural networks, this may explain how the therapy helps patients recover from severe depression
