Multisensory Stimulation Versus White Noise
This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of two interventions, white noise, and multisensory stimulation, during retinopathy examinations on premature infants. Retinopathy is a common eye disorder among premature infants, which can cause visual impairments if not addressed. The research used a randomized controlled experimental design, with premature infants randomly …

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy
The objective of this proposal is to investigate the effect of non-invasive repetitive cerebellar transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on motor control in progressive supranuclear (PSP). The central hypothesis is that augmenting cerebellar inhibition via cerebellar rTMS will decrease postural instability in patients with PSP by increasing functional connectivity between the …

Testing the Noradrenergic Hypothesis of Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation
This study investigates the capacity of non-invasive vagus nerve stimulation, applied at the ear, to alter to measures of locus coeruleus output pupil diameter and EEG alpha power. Non-invasive alteration in locus coeruleus output is of interest in regard to basic science and has potential clinical implications in a number …

Improving Insulin Sensitivity by Non-invasive Brain Stimulation
Efforts in curing and preventing obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been elusive thus far. One reason for that is the lack of understanding of the role of the brain in the development and treatment of the disease. In recent studies, the hypothalamus was identified as part of a …

Deep Brain Stimulation Surgery for Movement Disorders
Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an approved surgery for certain movement disorders, like Parkinson's disease, that do not respond well to other treatments. DBS uses a battery-powered device called a neurostimulator (like a pacemaker) that is placed under the skin in the chest. It is used to stimulate the …
