MIT Develops 250-Nanometer Magnetic Nanodiscs for Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Parkinson's Disease
Oct 14, 2024, 11:00 PM
Researchers at MIT have developed innovative magnetic nanodiscs, measuring only 250 nanometers wide, which can non-invasively stimulate specific brain regions. This breakthrough technology enables the injection of these tiny discs into the brain, where they can be activated by an external magnetic field to control neuronal activity. The approach offers a potential alternative to traditional methods that require implants or genetic modifications. Additionally, related advancements in gene therapy are utilizing magnetic fields to manage brain circuits affected by conditions such as Parkinson's disease, highlighting the growing interest in non-invasive brain stimulation techniques.
