"Revolutionary Noninvasive Stimulation Technique Modulates Deep Brain Structures in Neuroscience Breakthrough"
Originally Published 2 years ago — by PsyPost
Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery in neuroscience by successfully using a noninvasive brain stimulation technique to modulate deep brain activity, leading to enhanced motor learning, particularly in older adults. The study focused on the striatum, a key region involved in motor learning, and found that the stimulation increased activity in the putamen, resulting in improved performance in a finger-tapping task. The technique shows promise for developing new treatments for brain disorders and provides insights into the functioning of deep brain structures. However, further research is needed to understand the underlying mechanisms and long-term effects.
