Ultra-SmallMicroelectrode Biosensors for Brain Injury Analysis

An interview from Stéphane Marinesco, Associate Professor at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in Inserm, discussing the development of ultra-small microelectrode biosensors for the analysis of traumatic brain injuries, without the risks of conventional microelectrode biosensors. This interview was conducted at Pittcon 2019.

Controllers and Compact Drives for Minimally Invasive Brain Surgery

In neurosurgery, a mistake of a few hundred microns can lead to brain damage that cannot be reversed. This danger has led to an increasing focus being placed on minimally invasive surgery. Here, Surgeons carry out operations utilizing increasingly advanced robots instead of lasers and scalpels.

	Simplifying Gene Expression Analysis in Neuroscience Research n this interview, Kevin Gamber describes two new technologies that are revolutionizing gene expression analysis for neuroscientists, one of which provides an in-depth look into neuroinflammation in the CNS.

	Using mathematical model to trace brain transitions Unique in its application of a mathematical model to understand how the brain transitions from consciousness to unconscious behavior, a study at The City College of New York's Benjamin Levich Institute for Physico-Chemical Hydrodynamics may have just advanced neuroscience appreciably.

	Fungus used in traditional medicine could slow neuron loss in ALS Hirsutella sinensis (HS), a Chinese caterpillar fungus that is used in traditional Chinese medicine has been found to minimize motor neuron loss in mice models of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The fungus was also found to extend the lifespan of mice, marking a promising development in discovering therapeutic treatment for ALS.
