A better way to trace neuronal pathways: Moving forward by moving backward more effectively
New technologies have been likened, famously, to magic. At first, even the few who understand how they work have a
Neurons ripple while brains rest to lock in memories: How quiet minds encode spatial maps while ‘introspecting’
Memories resonate in the mind even when it’s not aware of processing them. New research from Rice University and Michigan
Tiny particles could help fight brain cancer: Nanoparticles carrying two drugs can cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors
Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor, is one of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. Only a handful of drugs are
Leg exercise is critical to brain and nervous system health: In a new take on the exercise truism ‘use it, or lose it,’ researchers show neurological health is an interactive relationship with our muscles and our world
Groundbreaking research shows that neurological health depends as much on signals sent by the body’s large, leg muscles to the
Flow of cerebrospinal fluid regulates neural stem cell division
Stem cells in the brain can divide and mature into neurons participating in various brain functions, including memory. In a
Mechanisms of harmful overhydration and brain swelling
We are all familiar with the drawbacks of dehydration, but we rarely hear about the harmful effects of overhydration. For
Personalizing therapeutic brain stimulation: Research could inform development of individualized stimulation protocols for neuropsychiatric disorders
A study of epilepsy patients with implanted electrodes provides an unprecedented view of the changes in brain activity created by
Conventional view of opioid mechanism of action upended in new study: Scientists find new molecular target for developing safer pain medications
A new discovery shows that opioids used to treat pain, such as morphine and oxycodone, produce their effects by binding
Noninvasive brain stimulation leads to fine motor improvement after stroke
Stroke is common and accompanied by complex disabilities–such as lower and upper limb disability, speech impairment, and chronic post-stroke pain.
