SPIE, Edmund Optics Award Top Companies in Startup Challenge
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 10, 2020 — Six new companies were awarded funding last week during the 10th annual Photonics West Startup Challenge event. Three top companies were selected by a panel of judges in the fields of health care and deep tech, with prizes of $2500, $5000, and...
Medtronic Visualase System Used in Mayo Clinic Epilepsy Trial
DUBLIN, Jan. 27, 2017 — Medical technology developer Medtronic PLC has announced that its Visualase MRI-guided laser ablation system has been performed in the Stereotactic Laser Ablation for Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (SLATE) clinical trial at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,...
Latest Research, Technologies Slated for Neuroscience 2015
Oct 8, 2015 — The Society for Neuroscience’s annual meeting, Neuroscience 2015, will be held on Oct. 17-21 at McCormick Place in Chicago. More than 30,000 scientists and researchers from more than 80 countries will come together at the world’s largest...
Arresting Epileptic Seizures with Fiber Optics
IRVINE, Calif., Jan. 28, 2013 — Unpredictable epileptic seizures can now be stopped in their tracks with a new approach that activates optical fibers implanted in the brain when a computer system detects a real-time seizure.
A 3-D Light Switch for the Brain
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 19, 2012 — A new tool that delivers precise points of light to living brain tissue in three dimensions could one day help treat Parkinson’s disease and epilepsy; it could even aid in the understanding of consciousness and how memories form.
Optogenetics Pioneers Win Zülch
COLOGNE, Germany, Sept. 6, 2012 — Four scientists who initiated and were instrumental in promoting optogenetics will be recognized Sept. 7 with the K.J. Zülch Prize 2012 from the Gertrud Reemtsma Foundation. In announcing the prize recipients — Ernst Bamberg of Max Planck...
Laser Surgery Promising as Epilepsy Cure
HOUSTON, July 26, 2011 — To most parents, a child’s laughter is music to their ears, but when 8-year-old Keagan Dysart laughed, it meant he was having a gelastic seizure — a rare convulsion that caused him to laugh uncontrollably two to three times an hour. But...
Nerve Cells Controlled via Light Pulses
FRANKFURT, Germany, April 11, 2011 — Using channelrhodopsins — ultralight-sensitive membrane proteins that can be inserted into cell membranes — researchers now can precisely control nerve cell activity with weak light pulses. Because channelrhodopsin has a slightly...
Stretchable Electronics — Good for the Heart
EVANSTON, Ill., March 26, 2010 — Flexible and stretchable electronics that can map waves of electrical activity in the heart with better resolution and speed than that of conventional cardiac monitoring technology have been demonstrated. Researchers from Northwestern University,...
UV LED Reduces Epileptic Seizures
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 21, 2010 - UV LED therapy tested on rats with epilepsy shows promise as a technique for preventing focal seizures in humans. Researchers from the University of Minnesota Medical School, l...
Light Silences Brain Cells
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 6, 2010 – Neuroscientists at MIT developed a powerful new class of tools to reversibly shut down brain activity using different colors of light. When targeted to specific neurons, such tools could lead to new treatments for the abnormal activity associated...
Thin Film Delivers Drugs
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Feb. 12, 2008 -- An implantable thin-film system can deliver drugs to specific targets in the body by disintegrating when an electric field is applied. The film developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology serves as a "micropharmacy" and could...
DFG OKs 10 Research Centers
BONN, Germany, Dec. 5, 2007 -- The German Research Foundation (DFG, for Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) will establish 10 collaborative research centers Jan. 1 focused on topics that could lead to the development of high-brightness lasers, highly integrated circuits and new...
Light-Activated Compound Calms Nerves
ST. LOUIS, March 6, 2007 -- A compound that halts nerve cell activity in the brain only when exposed to light is showing promise as a potential treatment for epilepsy. "This is daydreaming at this point, but we might one day combine this drug with a small implanted light...
