New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) found patients with non-small cell lung cancer brain metastases may benefit from up-front stereotactic radiosurgery; identified a connection between antibiotic use and autoimmune diseases; and uncovered a previously unknown structural role for messenger RNAs in the cytoplasm of cells.
Szuchet was a pioneering multiple sclerosis researcher and trailblazer for women in academia who served on the UChicago faculty for 45 years.
Besides seizures, people with developmental and epileptic encephalopathies can experience a wide variety of symptoms, including sleep problems, vision problems, and behavioral issues. Dr. Scott Demarest discusses how neurologists may be able to address some of these issues, potentially improving outcomes and quality of life.
Researchers at UC San Diego have shed new light on how the brain processes and synthesizes information. Findings help solve a longstanding mystery in neuroscience.
With the help of a tiny, transparent worm called Caenorhabditis elegans, researchers have identified novel players in dopamine signaling by taking advantage of a powerful platform generated via the Million Mutation Project for the rapid identification of mutant genes based on their functional impact.
“I began having a headache.” That headache was the start of a path the Eastern Kentucky University student Madison Carlisle never imagined her semester would take. “It was the week before fall break. My vision was starting to act up, there were times it was like I was seeing two of everything,” Carlisle said.
Corewell Health™ and Michigan State University researchers are the first in the state to use de-identified electronic health records of more than 1.5 million patients to analyze incidence rates and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment, or MCI, in rural and urban areas in West Michigan.
For people with bipolar disorder, a new way to measure the impact of treatment may be to measure the size of the “spikes” in their measures of mood and mania.
In a new study, a molecule identified and synthesized by UCLA Health researchers was shown to restore cognitive functions in mice with symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease by effectively jumpstarting the brain's memory circuitry.
There’s some good news for people with Parkinson’s disease: The risk of developing dementia may be lower than previously thought, or dementia may occur later in the course of the disease than previously reported, according to a study published in the August 7, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
يستخدم علماء مايو كلينك الذكاء الاصطناعي والتعلم الآلي لتحليل اختبارات مخطط كهربية الدماغ بسرعة وبدقة أكبر، مما يمكّن أطباء الأعصاب من العثور على مؤشرات مبكرة للخرف ضمن البيانات التي لا تخضع للفحص عادةً.
Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital use DNA methylation patterns as a roadmap for identifying causes of severe epilepsies in children.
Researchers led by the University of California, Irvine have discovered how the TREM2 R47H genetic mutation causes certain brain areas to develop abnormal protein clumps, called beta-amyloid plaques, associated with late-onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Grab a drink with friends at happy hour and you’re likely to feel chatty, friendly and upbeat. But grab a drink alone and you may experience feelings of depression. Researchers from The University of Texas at El Paso think they now know why this happens.
Researchers from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) have discovered that an FDA-approved cholesterol drug holds the potential to disrupt the progression of Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia.
Researchers at the University of Minnesota, have developed a new visual diagnostic technique that can be used to advance early detection for neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease and similar diseases that affect animals, including Chronic Wasting Disease in deer.
People with higher levels of metals found in their blood and urine may be more likely to be diagnosed with — and die from — amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS, a University of Michigan-led study suggests.
University of Utah researchers discover potential treatments that target amyloid beta plaques on the brain that lead to dementia in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
