The annals of fiction include stories in which mice possess myriad unexpected items: a cookie, a motorcycle, a red convertible, a sewing needle. But in a new study, reality trounces the imaginary as ...

Combining two treatments could be a promising option for people, especially military veterans, whose lives are negatively affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, finds a new study. In a clinical ...

The study evaluates A-tDCS combined with VR exergame training for cognitive dysfunction in MS patients, aiming to assess both short-term and sustained effects. Eighty MS patients with confirmed ...

What did they find? Activity in participants’ occipito-temporal cortex—the area linked to visual recognition of the human body—started to change. In just a few hours, those virtual wings stopped being ...

Combining two treatments could be a promising option for people, especially military veterans, whose lives are negatively affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, a new study shows. In a clinical ...
