Scientists at the University of Chicago have developed a new pacemaker that’s thinner than a human hair, wireless and operated entirely by light from an optic fiber. The non-invasive device could help ...

Until recently, chronobiologists assumed that certain neurons located on the sides of the brain act as the main pacemaker, synchronizing the entire system. However, a new study shows that time ...

The heart’s “mini-brain” is independent and highly localized, according to researchers at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Sweden. The findings could lead to new research into arrhythmia, ...

A Stanford University engineering group, led by Ada Poon, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has come up with a way to manipulate deep body implants – such as pacemakers, nerve stimulators ...

Almost all living creatures have an endogenous clock that enables them to adapt their behavior and body functions to the natural rhythm of day and night. This so-called circadian rhythm is controlled ...
