University of Pittsburgh scientists have developed a spinal cord stimulation technique that restores sensation in amputated limbs and reduces phantom limb pain, offering new hope for improved mobility and quality of life for amputees. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Spinal cord stimulation by University of Pittsburgh researchers effectively reduces phantom limb pain and restores sensation in amputees, marking a significant advance in prosthetic technology. Spinal cord stimulation can elicit sensation in the missing foot and…

UC Berkeley sleep scientists have found that deep sleep, also known as non-REM slow-wave sleep, may protect against memory decline in older adults with high amounts of Alzheimer’s disease pathology. Disrupted sleep has been associated with a faster accumulation of beta-amyloid protein in the brain, which is linked to memory loss caused by dementia. However, this new research suggests that higher levels of deep sleep can act as a cognitive reserve factor, increasing resilience against the effects of beta-amyloid protein.…

Call of Duty has been in a rough spot lately, with declining player counts and frustration from the community. But Activision has offset some of the negativity, at least slightly, with the release of the Plunder mode in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. This fan-favorite mode was introduced in the original Warzone, but was absent from the sequel until now. In Plunder, the focus isn’t necessarily on surviving, but rather on collecting as much cash as possible. Respawns are enabled and loadouts are available by default, and…

The researchers believe it is unlikely that the new molecules are addictive.According to UCSF researchers, the new molecules are the top prospects for narcotic alternatives.A recent study led by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco found that a newly discovered group of molecules reduced pain in mice without having the sedative effects that limit the use of opiates. The molecules act on the same receptor as clonidine and dexmedetomidine, two sedatives routinely used in hospitals, but they are…

In the midst of the pandemic, Pantheon Design, a maker of industrial 3D printers from Vancouver, BC, suddenly found itself getting orders from factories in the Midwest, the center of heavy industries. The reason? These manufacturers were having a hard time getting parts out of China as COVID-19 restrictions in the country squeezed global supply chains. One of Pantheon Design’s e-mobility customers waited 18 months before its injection molds, which are used for producing parts, arrived from…
