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. Find Out More

Don't Miss the Blood-Brain Barrier Drug Delivery (B3DD) Summit this August   B3DD is the industry’s first meeting dedicated to targeting the blood-brain barrier in order to develop clinically efficacious therapeutics. The event is ideal for experts looking to deliver CNS drug candidates safely and successfully across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).    Learn More           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.    Read Full Article Here

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.       New strategies for preventing and coping with rising burden of brain diseases   New strategies for preventing and coping with the growing burden of brain diseases were outlined today at the 5th European Academy of Neurology Congress in Oslo, Norway.       Researchers study cannabis dosage to reduce seizures in children with severe epilepsy   Medicinal cannabis oil containing both cannabidiol and a small amount of THC can reduce or end seizures in children with severe, drug-resistant epilepsy, a study by the University of Saskatchewan, Canada has found.       New gene-editing protocol allows perfect mutation-effect matching   Geneticists have long awaited the ability to simply knock out or add a single gene here and there, as desired, with accuracy and efficiency, and then study the exact consequences caused by the loss or addition of that genetic information.
