The results could help clinicians understand addiction and enable people to better manage substance withdrawal.

Could a ray of light stop rogue proteins in their tracks and slow the spread of neurodegenerative disease in the brain? EPFL and the Wyss Center are set to find out. GENEVA AND LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND - The Wyss Center and the Lashuel lab at EPFL announced today a collaboration to explore the potential of using light as a therapy for Parkinson's disease and dementia.

Charter group of 21 world-class institutions representing a network of over 150,000 researchers across six continents sign agreement that sets new bar for fast-paced research and development.

To do this, Baud collaborated with Vikram Rao, neurologist at UCSF, to obtain neuronal activity data collected over several years using devices implanted long-term in the brains of patients with epilepsy.

Subscalp brain monitoring devices could offer long-term, continuous, and reliable recording of neural activity at home and in the clinic.

Results demonstrate MRI compatibility, good surgical handling and reliable recording in bioelectronic interfaces that conform to the nervous system.

Geneva, Switzerland - The Wyss Center has joined forces with an international consortium of universities, biomedical startups and nonprofit organizations to develop therapies for spinal cord injury that could improve long-term recovery.

Revealing details of the internal structure of 'mini-brains' could help accelerate drug studies and may offer alternatives to some animal testing.

The flexible coating technology could pave the way for miniaturized devices in the human body. GENEVA & LA CHAUX-DE-FONDS, SWITZERLAND - Active implants, such as cardiac pacemakers, cochlear implants and neural monitoring or stimulation devices, contain sensitive electronics that must be protected from the warm, wet, and salty environment of the human body.

The software platform, NeuroKey, interfaces with multiple brain signal acquisition sources and devices, extending the reach of brain-computer interface applications.
