Skaaltec joined the Zurich Neuroscience Center Symposium, sharing early clinical trial results showing the feasibility of our stroke therapy. We had inspiring discussions with researchers and connected with MIT’s Ed Boyden after his groundbreaking talk on neurotechnology. Energized for what’s ahead!

New study sheds light on the role of hypothalamic orexin neurons (HONs) as a highly specific interface between motor activity and the internal physiological state.

Congrats to @alexandertesmer.bsky.social and the other authors!

New preprint out on biorxiv: taVNS during movement selectively enhances motor system excitability — without broad cortical or autonomic activation. This supports behavior-aware neuromodulation approaches for neurorehab.
