MIT researchers created 250 nm magnetic nanodiscs for non-invasive brain stimulation, offering a potential alternative to deep brain stimulation for neurological conditions.

MIT researchers have created innovative magnetic nanodiscs, measuring 250 nanometers, that enable non-invasive stimulation of the brain. These discs can be injected and activated externally using a magnetic field, offering a potential alternative to traditional deep brain stimulation. This advancement could enhance treatments for neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease and OCD, while minimizing the need for implants and reducing foreign body responses.
