NEW VIDEO: Non-invasive brain surgery!
Added 2018-12-10 19:15:27 +0000 UTCWhen scientists talk about turning on and off specific regions of the brain without doing any surgery it sounds like science fiction (and kinda scary). But the reality is it's an incredible new technology that promise to improve the lives of many many people who suffer from neurological disorders. It's research that takes place at the boundary of neuroscience and physics.

:O Amazeballs!
2018-12-11 18:54:17 +0000 UTCThere was a company, Genspara, now Inspyr Therapeutics, (full disclosure: I own stock) that managed to navigate this by supplying a drug that could cross the brain/blood barrier and only activated when it physically encountered tumor blood vessels. It was cool stuff. The company has had money problems though. It’s expensive developing drugs. They’re basically belly up now.
2018-12-10 20:07:11 +0000 UTCWow! Does that mean we can finally deliver cancer drugs through that blood-brain barrier? If so, plus the targeting capabilities, this could be huge news for brain cancer treatment!
