Study raises the standard for measuring nerve cell death: Research improves screening of experimental therapies for neurodegenerative disease
Researchers at UBC’s Okanagan campus have developed a new and improved method to judge the effectiveness of experimental therapies for
First-of-its-kind Parkinson’s biomarker guidelines invigorates drive for treatments: Creating guidelines for discovering Parkinson’s biomarkers is key to developing treatments
Parkinson’s disease affects more than 4 million people worldwide, with numbers projected to double in the next few decades. With
Brain response study upends thinking about why practice speeds up motor reaction times: Practicing a movement does make future similar movements happen faster, but not because the brain
Researchers in the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Johns Hopkins Medicine report that a computerized study of 36
The physician’s white coat: Iconic and comforting or likely covered in germs?
A new study from The University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston department of Obstetrics and Gynecology has found that
Paralyzed mice with spinal cord injury made to walk again: Small-molecule drug reactivates dormant nerve pathways; could complement regenerative strategies
Most people with spinal cord injury are paralyzed from the injury site down, even when the cord isn’t completely severed.
Amyloid beta protein protects brain from herpes infection by entrapping viral particles: Chronic viral infection could induce overproduction of Alzheimer’s-disease-associated protein and cause damaging inflammation
A Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) study has found the mechanism by which amyloid beta (A-beta) — the protein deposited into
Pathway of Alzheimer’s degeneration discovered: Finding is key for future treatment and earlier diagnosis
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro) of McGill University have used a unique approach to track
Neuronal ‘barcodes’ shape complex networks in the brain
The brain is an enormously complex organ. Understanding how billions of brain cells succeed in making precise connections is a
Powerful new approach helps understand molecular alterations in neurological disease
Neurological diseases are typically associated with a multitude of molecular changes. But out of these thousands of changes in gene
