Using electricity to stimulate parts of the brain could help to prevent symptoms of mental disorders
New non-invasive brain stimulation therapy hope for people with tremors Tremors are caused by aberrant synchronous oscillations in the brain (Ben Birchall/PA) Scientists have identified a new non-invasive type of therapy that may be able to help suppress brain activity associated with tremors. UK researchers have discovered that using electrical stimulation to target the cerebellum – an area of the brain that controls muscle co-ordination – could help suppress aberrant synchronous oscillations in the brain, which causes tremors seen in Parkinson’s disease and other brain disorders.
