Studies test magnetic stimulation, nanoparticles in brain disorders (opens in new tab)

Researchers reported three experimental neuroscience findings involving addiction and dementia models: a smoking-cessation study using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation, a nanotechnology treatment that reversed Alzheimer’s-like symptoms in mice, and a separate mouse study linking mitochondrial malfunction to memory decline. The smoking study, published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research, examined whether noninvasive rTMS could help patients quit smoking. The Alzheimer’s mouse s...
