الأورام الدبقية عالية الدرجة هي أورام سرطانية تنتشر بسرعة في الدماغ أو الحبل النخاعي. في دراسة جديدة أجريت تحت إشراف مايو كلينك، وجد الباحثون أن هوامش أورام الدماغ الغزوية للورم الدبقي عالي الدرجة تحتوي على تغيرات جينية وجزيئية مميزة بيولوجيًا تشير إلى السلوك العدواني وتكرار المرض. وتُظهر النتائج تصورات متعمقة للعلاجات المحتملة التي يمكن أن تحوّل مسار المرض.
Los gliomas de alto grado son tumores cancerígenos que se propagan rápidamente en el cerebro o en la médula espinal.
In a rare but serious complication of cancer, the immune system can start attacking the brain, causing rapid memory loss. What triggers this was largely unknown. Now, researchers at University of Utah Health have found that some tumors can release a virus-like protein, kickstarting an out-of-control autoimmune reaction.
Russian scientists from The Federal Research Centre “Fundamentals of Biotechnology” of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Research Center of Biotechnology RAS) tested a new potential antidepressant on rodents.
A new therapeutic for stroke based on University of Georgia research will soon enter clinical trials.
A new study has found that the brain system enabling us to inhibit our own pain changes with age, and that gender-based differences in those changes may lead females to be more sensitive to moderate pain than males as older adults.
RUDN University chemists have obtained new azaheterocyclic compounds that inhibit acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), regulators of the central nervous system.
Evolutionary biologists at Johns Hopkins Medicine report they have combined PET scans of modern pigeons along with studies of dinosaur fossils to help answer an enduring question in biology: How did the brains of birds evolve to enable them to fly?
Life has a challenging tempo. Sometimes, it moves faster or slower than we’d like. Nevertheless, we adapt.
Sergio E. Baranzini, PhD, a geneticist, neuroimmunologist, and data scientist at the University of California, San Francisco, is the winner of this year’s Barancik Prize for Innovation in MS Research.
An NIH-funded study suggests osteopathic physicians are uniquely positioned to assist migraine patients.
A Florida State University team investigating how to use brain stimulation technology to treat psychiatric conditions has been awarded a $1.44 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to further its research, particularly as it relates to the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder.
University Hospitals has been selected by the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program as one of four new study sites for the Black and African American Connections to Parkinson’s Disease (BLAAC PD) study.
Nerve cells in the brain demand an enormous amount of energy to survive and maintain their connections for communicating with other nerve cells.
Neural research conducted at Utah's Red Butte Garden uses EEG to measure brain activity on subjects after walks through nature and parking lots.
Approximately four of five primary care clinicians consider themselves on the front lines of brain health. In the U.S., clinicians are the first point of contact for patients worried about memory loss and are most likely the first to detect and evaluate patients experiencing mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias.
From shrinking brain tumors to personalized therapies, our investigators are leading pioneering research, discovering breakthroughs in treatment and promoting equity-driven care.
Background: People with acquired brain injury (ABI) may be more susceptible to scams owing to postinjury cognitive and psychosocial consequences. Cyberscams result in financial loss and debilitating psychological impacts such as sham...
Prerana Shrestha, PhD, from the Department of Neurobiology and Behavior in the Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University, has received a $2.2 million grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) for research on why people with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) have persistent intrusive memories of the traumatic experience.
‘Lymphatic plexus’ behind the nose drains cerebrospinal fluid from the brain, potentially impacting neurodegenerative conditions.
As digital devices progressively replace pen and paper, taking notes by hand is becoming increasingly uncommon in schools and universities. Using a keyboard is recommended because it’s often faster than writing by hand. However, the latter has been found to improve spelling accuracy and memory recall.
The brains and blood of people with a history of excessive drinking show cellular evidence of premature aging.
Srikanth Singamaneni and Barani Raman, both professors in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, led a team that harnessed the power of specially made nanostructures to enhance the neural response in a locust's brain to specific odors and to improve their identification of those odors.
Working with mammalian retinal cells, neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine have shown that, unlike most light-sensing cells (photoreceptors) in the retina, one special type uses two different pathways at the same time to transmit electrical “vision” signals to the brain.
New findings published in the journal Nature Neuroscience have shed light on a mysterious pathway between the reward center of the brain that is key to how we form habits, known as the basal ganglia, and another anatomically distinct region where nearly three-quarters of the brain’s neurons reside and assist in motor learning, known as the cerebellum.
University of Utah researcher KC Brennan received the award to support research on the unusual patterns of electrical and chemical activity that occur in the brain just before a migraine starts.
Migraine is often underdiagnosed and untreated, and even when it is treated, it can be difficult to treat early enough as well as find strategies to prevent attacks.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center will host the 2024 Cancer Neuroscience Symposium, Feb. 28 - Mar. 1, in collaboration the journal Advanced Biology.
The death rate for patients with functional, nonepileptic seizures is higher than expected, with a rate comparable to epilepsy and severe mental illness, a Michigan Medicine-led study finds.
BGSU researcher has helped identified a potential connection between a reduction in Utah’s Great Salt Lake and long-term consequences for human health.
As director of the Program for Early Assessment, Care, and Study (PEACS), a University of Colorado Department of Psychiatry clinic that focuses on young people at risk of psychotic disorders, Michelle West, PhD, has seen the effects — good and bad — that cannabis can have on teens and adolescents who are showing signs of psychosis, a condition defined as “a cluster of symptoms that involve difficulties knowing what is real and what is not real.”
