Study on atrial fibrillation: both atria are more involved than previously thought

New research findings from the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG) show that both atria undergo significant changes in cases of persistent atrial fibrillation. Until now, the left atrium in particular was considered to be the main factor in the condition. The results of the international study have been published in

Optogenetic cochlear stimulation evokes midbrain activity with near-physiological temporal fidelity

Authors Koert E, Götz J, Albrecht N, Vavakou A, Wolf BJ, Moser T Journal BioRxiv Citation bioRxiv 2026.05.16.724905 Abstract When hearing fails, stimulation of the auditory nerve by electrical cochlear implants (eCIs) partially restores hearing, with most eCI users achieving open speech understanding. However, the broad current spread from each
