Pre-conference workshops will include:
May 11, 2024: “Understanding Neuromodulation of the Brain and Spinal Cord” – a free educational event open to the public, where global experts and patients speak to life-changing neuromodulation therapies like deep brain stimulation, spotlighting effective management of conditions including chronic pain and Parkinson's disease.
May 11, 2024: ’Innovations in Neuromodulation – From Scientific Possibility to Viable Company – How to Make the Journey – over 200 global neuromodulation and investment community leaders will unite to share insights and innovations in a series of talks and panel discussions.
May 12, 2024: Noninvasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) Pre-Conference Day – themes include:
Advanced in the treatment of pain, from home-based treatments to chronically ill patients;
Neurorehabilitation: from brain injury to long-COVID;
New technologies.

A novel machine learning model for the characterization of material surfaces
2024-04-12
The design and development of novel materials with superior properties demands a comprehensive analysis of their atomic and electronic structures. Electron energy parameters such as ionization potential (IP), the energy needed to remove an electron from the valence band maximum, and electron affinity (EA), the amount of energy released upon the attachment of an electron to the conduction band minimum, reveal important information about the electronic band structure of surfaces of semiconductors, insulators, and dielectrics. The accurate ...
Presence of specific lipids indicate tissue ageing and can be decreased through exercise
2024-04-12
Scientists have discovered that a type of fat accumulates as tissue ages and that this accumulation can be reversed through exercise. Researchers from Amsterdam UMC, together with colleagues from Maastricht UMC+, analysed both mice and human tissue before and after exercise allowing them to draw this conclusion. The results are published today in Nature Aging.
"The idea that we could reverse aging is something that was long considered science fiction, but these findings do allow us to understand a lot more about the ...
Brightest gamma-ray burst of all time came from the collapse of a massive star
2024-04-12
In October 2022, an international team of researchers, including Northwestern University astrophysicists, observed the brightest gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever recorded, GRB 221009A.
Now, a Northwestern-led team has confirmed that the phenomenon responsible for the historic burst — dubbed the B.O.A.T. (“brightest of all time”) — is the collapse and subsequent explosion of a massive star. The team discovered the explosion, or supernova, using NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
While this discovery solves one mystery, another mystery deepens.
The researchers ...
Stellar winds of three sun-like stars detected for the first time
2024-04-12
An international research team led by a researcher from the University of Vienna has for the first time directly detected stellar winds from three Sun-like stars by recording the X-ray emission from their astrospheres, and placed constraints on the mass loss rate of the stars via their stellar winds. The study is currently published in Nature Astronomy.
Astrospheres, stellar analogues of the heliosphere that surrounds our solar system, are very hot plasma bubbles blown by stellar winds into the interstellar medium, a space filled with gas and dust. The ...
Iconic savanna mammals face genetic problems due to fences and roads
2024-04-12
Whether by way of Attenborough, Disney or National Geographic, the iconic scene is familiar to many. The ground trembles and clouds of dust swirl as enormous hordes of large animals thunder across the African savanna, cross rivers en masse and are picked off by lions, hyena and crocodiles. The annual migration of 1.3 million wildebeest through Tanzania’s Serengeti and Kenya’s Masai Mara attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists, and the phenomenon has put the Serengeti on UNESCO's list of World Heritage sites. Besides its majestic sight, the migration of this emblematic species ...
PFAS exposure from high seafood diets may be underestimated
2024-04-12
A Dartmouth-led study suggests that people who frequently consume seafood may face an increased risk of exposure to PFAS, the family of ubiquitous and resilient human-made toxins known as "forever chemicals."
The findings stress the need for more stringent public health guidelines that establish the amount of seafood people can safely consume to limit their exposure to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, the researchers report in the journal Exposure and Health. This need is especially urgent for coastal regions such as New England where a legacy of industry and PFAS pollution bumps up against a cultural predilection for fish, the authors write.
"Our recommendation ...
Can TA-NRP increase the number of patients receiving lung transplants?
2024-04-12
Embargoed until 8:30 a.m. Friday, 12 April, 2024 Central European Summer Time or GMT +2
12 April, 2024, Prague, Czech Republic—Re-perfusing the lungs of an organ donor after the heart has irreversibly stopped beating with a technique called normothermic regional perfusion (TA-NRP) could potentially increase the number of patients receiving lung transplants, according to researchers at the Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation (ISHLT) in Prague.
TA-NRP uses a machine to pass blood through a donor’s abdomen and chest after the heart has irreversibly stopped beating (called ...
Retention ponds can deliver a substantial reduction in tire particle pollution, study suggests
2024-04-12
Retention ponds and wetlands constructed as part of major road schemes can reduce the quantities of tyre particles entering the aquatic environment by an average of 75%, new research has shown.
The study analysed samples collected alongside some of the busiest routes in South West England and the Midlands, many used by more than 100,000 vehicles each day.
Tyre particles were discovered in each of the 70 samples taken, confirming the findings of previous research which has shown them to pose a considerable ...
