Scientists have shown that microscopic magnetic plates placed inside the brains of mice can be activated from outside the head and improve Parkinson’s-like movement problems. The experiment combines two simple ideas in an unusual way. Magnetic fields can pass […] The post Could a Magnetic Headband One Day Replace Deep Brain Electrodes for Parkinson’s? appeared first on Knowridge Science Report .
