Brighter prospects for chronic pain
Researchers use optogenetics to produce pain relief by shutting off neurons with lightThe potential of light as a non-invasive, highly-focused alternative to pain medication was made more apparent thanks to research conducted by scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of Ï㽶ÊÓƵ and the Ï㽶ÊÓƵ Health Centre.
Brain responses found to originate from previously unknown source
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ have made an important discovery about the human auditory system and how to study it, findings that could lead to better testing and diagnosis of hearing-related disorders.
The researchers detected frequency-following responses (FFR) coming from a part of the brain not previously known to emit them. FFRs are neural signals generated in the brain when people hear sounds.
