Neurological disorders such as post-stroke hemiplegia, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson disease represent a major global health burden. Brain-computer interface (BCI), which creates direct communication pathways between...

Summary: Background: Although frequency estimates for many types of acquired brain injuries are available, absolute risk estimates (percentage of individuals who develop the disease during their lifetime) remain sparse....

Abstract Objective Based on the bidirectional communication mechanism of the gut-brain axis, this study aims to systematically elucidate the interactive pathways between gut microbiota and insomnia, review the research p...

Abstract Background This letter engages with the seminal review by Argyrakopoulou et al. Obesity and the Gut-Brain Axis in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus: Terra Incognita? Curr Obes Rep, https://doi.org/10.1007/s13679-025-0065...

Background Clinical brain–computer interface (BCI) for mental disorders is an emerging interdisciplinary research field, posing new ethical concerns and challenges, yet lacking practical ethical governance guidelines f...

Abstract Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that modulates cortical excitability. It is devoid of serious adverse events and exerts variable effects on cognition,...

Contacts between organelles create microdomains that play major roles in regulating key intracellular activities and signaling pathways, but whether they also regulate systemic functions remains unknown. Here, we report ...

This Review Note presents two successful “brain gain” initiatives implemented in Albania — READ, a planning research project, and GERMIN, a planning education project. Both programs represent structured efforts to ...

This review examines the application of brain–computer interface (BCI) technology for motor rehabilitation in patients with severe stroke—a population often excluded from conventional therapies due to minimal movemen...

Abstract With the evolution of interactive art installations towards 4 K/8 K ultra-high-definition streaming and large-scale multi-point interaction, existing 5G networks face challenges in maintaining the "flow state"...

BackgroundDepressive disorders are clinically heterogeneous and mechanistically complex psychiatric conditions. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a key non-invasive neuromodulation technique, has expanded r...

The brain is the part of the body that gives us the ability to live, react to all external stimuli, and coordinate our entire body. The human brain constantly generates electrical impulses. These electric currents are of...

Brain tumors have the ability to exist even at a small size, thus making them extremely difficult to diagnose and cure. For this reason they are often considered as one of the most highly destructive and lethal groups of...

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) based on motor imagery (MI) provide a transformative direct communication pathway for patients with severe motor disabilities. However, the high inter-subject variability and non-statio...

Abstract Background Decompressive craniectomy (DC) is a life-saving measure in severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), but its long-term functional outcome and the time of subsequent cranioplasty remain debated. Recent evid...

ABSTRACT Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for treatment‐resistant depression (TRD) is challenged by significant individual variability in efficacy and unclear neural circuit mechanisms. To address this, a cross‐species, ...

The precise treatment and dynamic management of traumatic brain injury pose a substantial challenge to the global healthcare sector. This challenge arises not only from the complex and dynamically evolving pathological m...

Brain-computer interface (BCI) technology provides objective and quantitative biological assessment methods for the rehabilitation assessment of patients with neurological dysfunction by acquiring and decoding neural act...

Background and purposeThe aging brain is particularly sensitive to alterations in selenium status. Selenium deficiency has been associated with impaired neural function, cognitive decline, and increased vulnerability to ...

This study presents a novel machine learning approach to assess human well-being through the analysis of brain wave activities. We developed a Random Forest classifier to categorize brain wave patterns into three states ...

Extensive research has demonstrated that music enhances cognitive functions, such as learning, reasoning, and memory. This study investigated the influence of music on short- and long-term memory while learning through t...

In patients with brain injury, conventional clinical paradigm based on macro imaging and behavioral scales fails to achieve precise localization and dynamic assessment of neural functions and network connectivity. It is ...

BackgroundHigh blood pressure (BP) is a known risk factor for dementia, but the relationships between BP and gross brain volumes are mixed and are understudied in groups who are at particularly high risk for dementia, su...

In the central nervous system, cholinergic and dopaminergic (DA) neurons are among the cells most susceptible to the deleterious effects of age. Thus, the basal forebrain cholinergic system is known to undergo moderate n...
