A landmark study led by UCLA Health has begun to unravel one of the fundamental mysteries in neuroscience – how the human brain encodes and makes sense of the flow of time and experiences.
Sometimes we all just need to mentally switch off and do nothing, but some people find the experience more stressful than relaxing according to new research from the University of Portsmouth in England.
Giving women at risk of premature birth a simple magnesium sulphate infusion (or ‘drip’) can prevent their babies from developing cerebral palsy, a recent Cochrane review has confirmed. The drug itself costs approximately £5 (~$6.50) per dose in England, and requires hospital admission with experienced staff to administer the drug safely to the mother.
أحد الأسباب النادرة للانحدار الإدراكي الوراثي المعروف باسم الاضطراب المرتبط بالسائل الدماغي النخاعي (CSF1R-RD) حصل على اسمه من الطفرات في جين مستقبل عامل تحفيز المستعمرات 1، الذي اكتشفته مايو كلينك. ويحدث فقدان الذاكرة مع تقدم الحالة، في حين تشمل الأعراض المبكرة تغيرات في الشخصية والقلق والاكتئاب وفقدان القدرة على التثبيط. وعلى الرغم من أن الاختبارات الجينية أصبحت متاحة على نطاق أوسع، إلا إنه لا يوجد علاج لهذا الاضطراب.
Um transtorno raro de declínio cognitivo hereditário conhecido como Transtorno Relacionado ao CSF1R (CSF1R-RD, sigla em inglês) recebe o seu nome devido a mutações no gene CSF1R, descoberto pela Mayo Clinic. A perda de memória ocorre à medida que a condição avança, enquanto os primeiros sintomas incluem alterações de personalidade, ansiedade, depressão e perda de inibição. Os testes genéticos tornaram-se mais amplamente disponíveis, mas não há cura para a doença.

The shift from pediatric to adult epilepsy care can be complex. A recent survey of young people with epilepsy found that 25% still saw pediatric neurologists for their epilepsy care. Only 4% said they received clear instructions during the transition process.
Scientists elaborated algorithm that much better detects epilepsy on EEG recordings, than other automated methods. To achieve this, authors combined two approaches to analysis of signals of brain activity – classifier, that doesn’t require education, and trainable neural network. The project will enable to automate analysis of EEG and so simplify the process of detecting of epilepsy. Results of the research, supported by the grant of Presidential program of Russian Scientific Foundation, are published in the magazine IEEE Access.
La afirmación de que "la neurocisticercosis (NCC) es una de las causas más comunes de epilepsia en todo el mundo" no solo es incorrecta, sino también potencialmente engañosa para los lectores que no están familiarizados con la epidemiología de la epilepsia.
More competition from physician-led hospitals offers a solution to address health care access challenges.
People with alcohol use disorder (AUD) may not respond typically to images of food (i.e., cues), according to a novel study using brain imaging.
A new study led by Prof. Omry Koren and graduate student Atara Uzan-Yuzari from the Azrieli Faculty of Medicine at Bar-Ilan University has unveiled significant evidence connecting the gut microbiome to aggressive behavior in mice. Published in the journal Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, the research explores how disruptions in the microbiome, particularly due to antibiotic use in early life, can lead to increased aggression.
A new video game designed by the University of South Australia shows what it is like to be neurodivergent in a world that’s designed for neurotypical people.
Dr. Bruce Greyson is a distinguished professor emeritus of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at the University of Virginia. With an academic journey spanning over half a century, Dr. Greyson has dedicated a significant portion of his career to the study of near-death experiences (NDEs).
A mother and daughter survive complex brain aneurysms, including the daughter's ruptured aneurysm, after receiving care from neurosurgeon Rafael De Oliveira Sillero, M.D., and his partners at UT Southwestern Medical Center.
