A new ultrasound “helmet” could transform treatment for neurological conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, without the need for surgery. The device can target brain regions 1,000 times smaller than standard ultrasound and may eventually replace invasive deep brain stimulation (DBS). It also shows potential for conditions such as Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer’s, depression, chronic pain, and addiction. Unlike DBS, which requires electrodes to be implanted deep in the brain, the helmet delivers mechanical pulses non-invasively while fitted inside an MRI scanner. A study in Nature Communications demonstrated its precision on seven volunteers, targeting a region the size of a grain of rice…

Labour’s promise to end badger culling by 2029 could be achieved, but only with a major expansion of testing and vaccination, according to a government-commissioned report. Badgers are culled because they can spread bovine tuberculosis (bTB) to cattle, a disease costing taxpayers and farmers around £150m annually. More than 210,000 badgers have been killed since the cull began in 2013. Sir Charles Godfray, the report’s author, said current investment in testing and vaccination is insufficient to suppress bTB. Ministers currently face a “small chance” of meeting the government’s 2038 eradication target without a major increase in resources and urgency. “The…

The Lancashire Wildlife Trust (LWT) has launched a drive to reintroduce lost species, including the large heath butterfly, bog bush cricket and white-faced darter dragonfly, once common across Lancashire and Greater Manchester’s peat bogs. These insects depend on lowland peatlands, 96% of which have been lost due to human activity. LWT has been restoring habitats by rebuilding water systems and replanting specialist vegetation and is now appealing for £20,000 to complete the project. The trust said the species play key roles in the ecosystem: pollinating plants, breaking down plant matter, and keeping insect populations in balance. Senior nature recovery officer…
