– These articles focus mainly on neurology research.
– What is neurology?
– Definition of neurology: a science involved in the study of the nervous systems, especially of the diseases and disorders affecting them.
– Neurology research can include information involving brain research, neurological disorders, medicine, brain cancer, peripheral nervous systems, central nervous systems, nerve damage, brain tumors, seizures, neurosurgery, electrophysiology, BMI, brain injuries, paralysis and spinal cord treatments.

New Drug Target Could Freeze Alzheimer’s in Its Tracks

Is the IDOL enzyme the key to stopping Alzheimer's? New research shows that blocking this single target can dissolve brain plaques and boost cognitive resilience. By lowering the brain's "strongest risk factor" protein, scientists have found a new way to keep neurons communicating even under attack.

Lifetime Lead Exposure Triples Alzheimer’s Risk

Think lead is a problem of the past? New research shows that lead stored in your bones for decades could triple your risk of Alzheimer’s disease. By tracking thousands of adults, scientists have discovered that historical exposure to leaded gas and paint is a "silent" driver of nearly 1 in 5 dementia cases.

Hidden Dynamics of Early Multiple Sclerosis Myelin Damage

New research suggests that the earliest signs of MS damage are surprisingly dynamic. By tracking myelin swellings in 3D, scientists have discovered that these precursors to lesions can actually shrink and disappear, revealing a hidden opportunity to stop the disease before it starts.

Taming Tumor Chaos: Researchers Uncover Key to Improving Glioblastoma Treatment

A groundbreaking study identifies a "master switch" molecule, miR-181d, that controls the chaotic behavior of glioblastoma cells. By stabilizing this molecule, researchers can force tumor cells into a more uniform state, significantly increasing their vulnerability to chemotherapy.

Brain Stimulation Method Can Evaluate Consciousness in Alzheimer’s Disease

Researchers have determined that a measure of brain complexity, derived from magnetic stimulation and EEG, can effectively evaluate the integrity of conscious processing in patients with Alzheimer's disease. The findings offer a new potential metric for tracking disease progression.

Brain Conductors Find Precise Connection to Target Cells via Protein Handshake

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Immune Signal Ratio May Predict Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

A long-term study has identified a potential biomarker that could help detect which patients are progressing toward more severe forms of multiple sclerosis. Researchers discovered that a high ratio of CXCL13 to BAFF indicates compartmentalized inflammation in the leptomeninges, a hallmark of progressive MS.

Early Screen Time Linked to Long-Term Brain Changes, Teen Anxiety

New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence. Infants with more screen time showed premature specialization in brain networks involved in visual processing and cognitive control, which later reduced flexibility during thinking tasks.

Is Your Oral Bacteria Influencing Multiple Sclerosis?

High levels of the periodontal bacterium Fusobacterium nucleatum may be associated with more severe disability in people with multiple sclerosis. Researchers analyzed tongue-coating samples and found that MS patients with the highest abundance of this bacteria had significantly worse scores on a standard disability scale.

Stroke Weakens How the Brain Integrates Speech Sounds

A new study comparing stroke survivors with healthy adults reveals that post-stroke language disorders stem not from slower hearing but from weaker integration of speech sounds. While patients detected sounds as quickly as controls, their brains processed speech features with far less strength, especially when words were unclear.

Study Finds Way to Reverse Alzheimer’s

A new study challenges the long-held belief that Alzheimer’s disease cannot be reversed. Researchers showed that a severe drop in NAD+—a core energy molecule—drives Alzheimer’s pathology in both human brains and mouse models.

Working Nights May Increase Cancer Risk

Chronic circadian disruption — such as night-shift work, irregular schedules, or frequent jet lag — accelerates the development and spread of aggressive breast cancer. Researchers found that disrupted internal clocks not only weaken immune defenses but also reshape healthy breast tissue, creating conditions that tumors exploit.
