Breakthrough Brain Implant Technology for TBI

After suffering a traumatic brain injury in 2001, Gina Arata would often trip over things, get mad easily, and forget basic information. Today, however, a tiny implant is enabling Arata to live more like her pre-accident self. The device delivers targeted electrical stimulation to a part of the brain’s thalamus, with the goal of “overdriving” it to restore brain function — similar to how a pacemaker restores heart function, the researchers said. Read the full article here: https://www.freethink.com/health/tbi-brain-stimulation?utm_campaign=freethinkweekly&utm_source=rejoiner&utm_medium=email&utm_content=12%2F12%2F23+F%2A+Weekly&rjnrid=3NGOnGm

Richard Hammond explains what he experienced during his coma | 310mph Crash | Insight into non-local consciousness

Richard Hammond, a presenter on the popular car show "Top Gear," was involved in a serious car crash while filming in 2006. He was in a coma for weeks following the accident. However, he has since recovered and continues to work as a television presenter and journalist. In the video below, he discusses his experience with non-local consciousness during the coma, while his doctors were predicting a poor outcome and saying it was hopeless, his wife kept the faith. The video is short and it's a great story.

Use of the Term "Vegetative State" is Dehumanization in Its Most Literal Form

By Sherry Phipps swp@protonmail.com The term “vegetative state” has been used in the medical field for decades to describe patients who have lost cognitive function due to severe brain injury. However, the use of this term is increasingly being criticized for its dehumanizing connotations. This article explores why the term is problematic and suggests alternatives that respect the dignity of patients. The Problem with the Term The term “vegetative state” is derived from the word “vegetable,” implying a lack of consciousness or awareness. This comparison is not only scientifically inaccurate but also deeply disrespectful. It reduces a human being, with their unique history, personality, and potential, to the status of a plant. Moreover, the term can lead to harmful misconceptions. It may cause people to believe that these patients are incapable of experiencing pain or emotions, which is not always the case. Some research suggests that certain patients in a so-called vegetative state

Innovative design achieves tenfold better resolution for functional MRI brain imaging

An international team of researchers has developed an ultra-high resolution 7 Tesla scanner that records up to 10 times more detail than current 7T scanners and over 50 times more detail than current 3T scanners, which are the mainstay of most hospitals. This new scanner is capable of producing functional MRI (fMRI) features that are 0.4 millimeters across, compared to the 2 or 3 millimeters typical of today’s standard 3T fMRIs. The NexGen 7T scanner is a new tool that allows scientists to look at the brain circuitry underlying different diseases of the brain with higher spatial resolution in fMRI, diffusion, and structural imaging, and therefore to perform human neuroscience research at higher granularity. This puts UC Berkeley at the forefront of human neuroimaging research. The ultra-high resolution scanner will allow research on underlying changes in brain circuitry in a multitude of brain disorders, including degenerative diseases, schizophrenia, and developmental disorders, inclu
