Article Synopsis
- Deep brain stimulation has greatly advanced the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders, and there's interest in finding less invasive alternatives.
- The study focuses on magnetoelectric nanodiscs (MENDs) that can convert magnetic fields into electric signals to modulate neurons remotely, showing effective results even below traditional stimulation thresholds.
- When injected into specific brain regions of mice, MENDs can control behaviors related to reward and movement, paving the way for new applications in neuroscience research and therapy.
Schools of Nursing across the country are encountering fiscal, programmatic and leadership challenges exacerbated by chaos and fragmentation in health care systems. This article focuses on the transformation journey of the School of Nursing at the University of Minnesota highlighting the complex context of higher education, challenges faced, and strategies executed that focused on significant and sustained culture change. Recommendations are offered to enable all schools to embark on their own transformative journeys.

Identifying less invasive alternatives to DBS may further extend its clinical and research applications. Nanomaterial-mediated transduction of magnetic fields into electric potentials offers an alternative to invasive DBS.

Here we describe multifunctional neural interfaces that combine the scalability and mechanical versatility of thermally drawn polymer-based fibers with the sophistication of microelectronic chips for organs as diverse as the brain and the gut. Our approach uses meters-long continuous fibers that can integrate light sources, electrodes, thermal sensors and microfluidic channels in a miniature footprint.
