A randomized controlled trial has demonstrated clinically meaningful improvements in motor recovery for chronic stroke survivors using the FDA-cleared IpsiHand® brain-computer interface system.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are developing a hair-thin, fiber-based implant to study how Alzheimer’s disease progresses deep within the brain. Supported by a $3.27 million NIH grant, the technology enables long-term imaging and targeted intervention in the hippocampus — one of the first regions affected in Alzheimer’s.

By combining advanced vision-language AI models with real-world task analysis, researchers developed a system that can recognize cognitive sequencing errors during everyday activities like cooking. This approach moves beyond traditional assessments, offering a more realistic way to support safety, confidence, and daily functioning.

Research from WashU Medicine reports encouraging long-term results for tofersen, an FDA-approved therapy for a rare genetic form of ALS caused by SOD1 mutations. Extended treatment slowed disease progression and improved survival, with about one-quarter of participants experiencing stabilization or gains in strength and mobility.

Research at Washington University in St. Louis has been recognized on the global stage, with WashU named a Focused Ultrasound Center of Excellence by the Focused Ultrasound Foundation.

NEURO360-aligned research led by Rohit V. Pappu, PhD, with Min Kyung Shinn, PhD, at WashU’s McKelvey School of Engineering is uncovering new therapeutic targets for neurodegenerative disorders such as ALS.
