Memory: Training Can Increase Brain Activity
( Source: REHACARE.de )
[11/04/2012] If someone has trouble remembering where the car keys or the cheese grater are, new research shows that a memory training strategy can help. Memory training can even re-engage the hippocampus, part of the brain critical for memory formation, the results suggest.Memory: Training Can Increase Brain Activity - Read more
Smart Sensors Enable Orthopaedician to Collect Information
( Source: REHACARE.de )
[04/04/2012] Imagine a smart sensor customised to provide vital, real-time information about a patient's recent orthopaedic surgery. Instead of relying on X-rays or invasive procedures, surgeons will be able to collect diagnostic data from an implantable sensor. A study this remarkable technology promises to make post-surgical diagnosis and follow up more precise, efficient, and cost-effective.Smart Sensors Enable Orthopaedician to Collect Information - Read more
