New findings from the Feinstein Institutes 🧠 🔬 A new study led by Elvisha Dhamala, assistant professor in the Institute of Behavioral Sciences at the Feinstein Institutes, shows how sex and gender may influence the brain and, ultimately, a person’s health. The findings suggest that sex and gender are distinct from one another and should be considered separately in future scientific research.

Great news in bioelectronic medicine! SetPoint Medical announced significant positive results from its vagus nerve stimulation RESET-RA clinical trial treating moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis. Decades of research from Kevin Tracey's lab and scientists at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, and others worldwide, this is a major step toward making the first #VNS neuromodulation device available for patients.

It was an honor to host Brazilian Senator and disabilities activist Mara Gabrilli at the Institute of Bioelectronic Medicine last month. Senator Gabrilli visited Professor Chad Bouton's lab, where the research team shared groundbreaking results from our double neural bypass study and introduced her to a clinical trial participant working with the team. A life-changing accident in 1993 left Senator Gabrilli paralyzed. Since then, she’s become a dedicated advocate for those living with #paralysis. We deeply appreciate her support as we work towards developing new #bioelectronic therapies. Instituto Mara Gabrilli

New research findings 🔬 Blood biomarkers could be used to help identify the risk of psychotic symptoms in those who suffer from Alzheimer’s disease. Feinstein Institutes’ associate professors at the Institute of Molecular Medicine Jeremy L. Koppel, MD and Jesus J. Gomar, published new findings in the JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association Psychiatry that suggests the presence of a certain tau protein could be used to identify the condition early. Explore how these findings may lead to new ways to diagnose and treat the disease for the millions living with #Alzheimer’s disease. https://bit.ly/3xvXHPb

Before you dive into the social media trends and try #vagusnerve stimulation activities suggested by influencers, consider the scientific evidence. In a recent New Scientist article written by Kevin Tracey, Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research President and CEO, he explains what vagus nerve stimulation is and the difference between humming or cold-water immersion and FDA-approved VNS devices used to treat diseases caused by inflammation. 🔗 Click this link below to read the full article.
