Effectiveness of digital game-based trainings in children with neurodevelopmental disorders: A meta-analysis - ScienceDirect
Effectiveness of digital game-based trainings in children with neurodevelopmental disorders: A meta-analysis - ScienceDirect https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0891422222002487?via%3DihubAbstractDigital game-based training programs have recently been used to train the cognitive abilities of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). However, the effects of training remain controversial. The present meta-analysis explored the effectiveness of digital game-based training in children with NDDs and examined the possible moderators of its effects. Twenty-nine studies with cognitive outcom...

Optogenetics Tech for Long-Term Changes in Neuronal Excitability
Scientists at MIT have developed an optogenetics technique that can lead to long-term changes in neuronal excitability by altering neuronal membrane capacitance. Unlike conventional optogenetics, which involves using light to rapidly activate ion channels on engineered neurons, the new technique relies on a light-sensitive reaction to increase the presence of conductive or insulating polymers in the cell membrane. The method creates long-term changes in neuronal excitability, and does not require continuous illumination to maintain these changes. The method is primarily intended as a research tool that can increase our und...
