Penn State 72, Mercyhurst 57: Lions Stave Off Scrappy Lakers

Penn State 72, Mercyhurst 57: Lions Stave Off Scrappy Lakers

Coming off a hard-fought battle with their in-state rivals that came up just short, Penn State returned to the friendly confines of the Bryce Jordan Center to take on Mercyhurst in a “get-right” type of game. The Lakers however, weren’t about to make things *that* easy for the Lions. The first five minutes started off […]

BSD YouTube Show: Previewing Penn State vs. Minnesota

Next on the docket for the Nittany Lions: Minnesota. The Golden Gophers are 5-4, with an impressive victory over Iowa and nearly knocking off Indiana on the road. Still, there’s some Jekyll and Hyde to them because even with strong performances against ranked teams, they do have a confounding 41-13 loss against Purdue. Which version […]

LUMC and TU Delft Contribute to Largest Brain Atlas, Enhancing Brain Disorder Research Tools

LUMC and TU Delft Contribute to Largest Brain Atlas, Enhancing Brain Disorder Research Tools

Researchers from Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC) and Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), through their Medical Delta collaboration, have significantly contributed to the creation of the largest brain atlas ever developed. This atlas, part of the Brain Initiative Cell Atlas Network, aims to map all types of human brain cells. The first results, focusing on the basal ganglia, have been published in a package of 26 scientific articles in Cell. LUMC and TU Delft's primary role was in developing the software, Cytosplore Viewer, which allows researchers to navigate, process, and visualize the enormous volume of data within the atlas. This tool enables scientists to zoom into brain regions, compare cell types, and investigate their differences, transforming an 'ocean of search possibilities into a bathtub,' according to principal investigator Boudewijn Lelieveldt.

Penn State Researchers Discover Method to Prevent Sensory Habituation in Neuroprosthetics

Penn State Researchers Discover Method to Prevent Sensory Habituation in Neuroprosthetics

Researchers at Penn State, led by Dr. Xiaogang Hu, have developed a new protocol that prevents sensory habituation, a common issue in neuroprosthetics where the brain stops perceiving continuous artificial stimulation. Published in IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, the study utilized transcutaneous nerve stimulation (TNS) on healthy participants. By applying 5-second electrical pulse bursts followed by 40-second recovery intervals, the team maintained a stable, unattenuated sensation of touch for 45 minutes across 60 trials. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) imaging revealed that while participants perceived no change in sensation intensity, active cortical regions migrated over time. Brain activity shifted from the focal somatosensory cortex to broader, distributed neural processing networks, indicating that the brain dynamically recruits different areas to sustain perception. This discovery addresses a significant challenge in developing long-lasting and effective artificial tactile feedb...

Penn State Researchers Secure $3.8 Million NIH Grant for Heart Health Program

Penn State Researchers Secure $3.8 Million NIH Grant for Heart Health Program

Penn State researchers have been awarded a five-year, $3.8 million grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research, part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The funding will support a program called 'Growing Healthy Hearts,' which aims to test whether a remote intervention focused on gardening, cooking skills, nutrition education, and peer support can help adults at risk for cardiovascular disease adopt healthier habits. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death globally, and diet and physical activity are significant contributing factors. The program seeks to address the challenge that knowledge alone often fails to produce lasting behavioral changes. Susan Veldheer, associate professor of family and community medicine and public health sciences, and Amy Moore, assistant professor of nutritional sciences and food science, are co-principal investigators leading a multidisciplinary team. The study will involve a randomized controlled trial with 264 participants who have at least one r...
