#braininitiative — Public Fediverse posts

A consortium of research institutions has unveiled an #armamentarium of biological tools that could precisely target cells to treat diseases of the #brain and spinal cord, possibly including epilepsy and sleep disorders. https://www.geekwire.com/2025/armamentarium-genetic-tools-brain/ #science #BRAINInitiative

A congressional briefing commemorated ten years of groundbreaking advancements through the National Institutes of Health BRAIN Initiative. Scientists emphasized the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and connecting the research to real-world impacts, and an Initiative study participant spoke about his positive experience with deep brain stimulation for treatment-resistant depression. #studyBRAIN #neurosociety #braininitiative #mentalhealth
