Substance use disorders (SUDs) imposes profound physical, psychological, and socioeconomic burdens on individuals, families, communities, and society as a whole, but the available treatment options remain limited. Deep brain-machine interfaces (DBMIs) provide an innovative approach by facilitating efficient interactions between external devices and deep brain structures, thereby enabling the meticulous monitoring and precise modulation of neural activity in these regions. This pioneering paradigm holds significant promise for revolutionizing the treatment landscape of addictive disorders. In this review, we carefully examine the potential of closed-loop DBMIs for addressing SUDs, with a specific emphasis on three fundamental aspects: addictive behaviors-related biomarkers, neuromodulation techniques, and control policies. Although direct empirical evidence is still somewhat limited, rapid advancements in cutting-edge technologies such as electrophysiological and neurochemical recordings, deep brain stimulation, optogenetics, microfluidics, and control theory offer fertile ground for exploring the transformative potential of closed-loop DBMIs for ameliorating symptoms and enhancing the overall well-being of individuals struggling with SUDs.

Brain stimulation has, for many decades, been considered as a potential solution for the unmet needs of the many people living with drug-resistant epilepsy. Clinically, there are several different approaches in use, including vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), deep brain stimulation of the thalamus, and responsive neurostimulation (RNS). Across populations of patients, all deliver reductions in seizure load and SUDEP risk, yet do so variably, and the improvements seem incremental rather than transformative.

As brain-machine interfaces (BMI) are growingly used in clinical settings, understanding how to apply brain stimulation is increasingly important. Despite the emergence of optogenetic techniques, ethical and medical concerns suggest that interventions that are safe and non-invasive, such as Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), are more likely to be employed in human in the near future. Consequently, the question of how and where to apply current stimulation is becoming increasingly important for the efficient neuromodulation of both neurological and psychiatric disorders.

Objective: While current multimodal approaches in the diagnosis and severity assessment of pneumonia demonstrate remarkable performance, they frequently overlook the issue of modality absence-a common challenge in clinical practice. Thus, we present the (RMT) model, crafted to bridge this gap. The RMT model aims to enhance diagnosis and severity assessment accuracy in situations with incomplete data, thereby ensuring it meets the complex needs of real-world clinical settings.

Implantable neural probes hold promise for acquiring brain data, modulating neural circuits, and treating various brain disorders. However, traditional implantable probes face significant challenges in practical applications, such as balancing sensitivity with biocompatibility and the difficulties of in situ neural information monitoring and neuromodulation. To address these challenges, this study developed an implantable hydrogel probe capable of recording neural signals, modulating neural circuits, and treating stroke.

Ultraflexible neural electrodes have shown superior stability compared with rigid electrodes in long-term recordings, owing to their low mechanical mismatch with brain tissue. It is desirable to detect neurotransmitters as well as electrophysiological signals for months in brain science. This work proposes a stable electronic interface that can simultaneously detect neural electrical activity and dopamine concentration deep in the brain.
