Calif. PD considers offering brain stimulation therapy
Posted by Dan Breeden in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience
The city is considering whether to spend federal funds to offer personalized transcranial magnetic stimulation, or PrTMS, to public safety personnel who may feel groggy from poor sleep or want to improve interactions with the public.
Dr. Kevin Murphy explained the drug-free, noninvasive therapy at workshops Monday in Turlock. Therapy performed in a clinic directs magnetic pulses to stimulate electrical activity in neurons in the brain to regulate moods and restore mental well-being. The treatment is tailored for each individual based on an EEG and mapping of brain activity.
Murphy said the benefits for first responders will be fewer injuries and complaints, better sleep and employee satisfaction. The doctor said improved sleep is a common denominator for people who come into the clinic struggling with different issues.

Scientists discover longevity genes. Here’s how it can extend lifespan of humans
Posted by Shubham Ghosh Roy in category: life extension
For generations, humans have tried to find the elixir which can extend their lives beyond their natural limit and deceive death.
Now, scientists have made a discovery of a gene which has brought humanity very close to this impossible target of achieving longevity.
The gene has been found to possess the capability of promoting cellular repair and reducing the effects of ageing. This discovery has taken the scientific community close to finding methods for extending not just long but healthy lives.
