Neurology

– 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.

CASS4 Gene Directs Microglia to Contain Alzheimer’s Plaques

Meet the brain's trash compactor: UVA Health researchers discovered that the CASS4 risk gene directs microglia to tightly pack and contain toxic amyloid plaques, proving Alzheimer's risk operates directly through immune defenses rather than neurons.

Early Infections Prime the Brain for Alzheimer’s

Can an infection in youth seed Alzheimer's in old age? FAU and TUM scientists investigate a "cellular long-term memory" in neurons and microglia, where damaged long-lived RNA molecules leave brain cells primed for neurodegenerative collapse.

Menopause Blood Protein Signature Tied to Dementia Risk

How does menopause shape long-term brain health? A new study of 12,000 women reveals that a panel of 16 blood proteins linked to brain aging surges during the menopause transition, offering a midlife window to screen for future dementia risk.

Pulmonary Hypertension Triggers Cognitive Decline

Why do so many pulmonary hypertension patients experience brain fog and memory decline? Pitt and UPMC researchers discovered that the NCOA7-driven inflammatory cascade affecting the lungs also triggers microglial neuroinflammation and severs cerebellar-frontal circuits.

Overlooked Blood Cell May Tracks Parkinson’s Brain Changes

Can blood platelets track Parkinson’s disease progression? Research from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) demonstrates that platelets reflect neurodegenerative shifts—from mitochondrial breakdown to dementia onset—better than whole blood.

Premature Birth Alters Cerebellar Wiring

Why do premature infants face motor and language delays even without brain injuries? A landmark Science study led by Children's National reveals that developing outside the womb rewires the molecular programs of cerebellar Purkinje and granule cells, overturning the classic "catch-up" theory.

Living Near Industrial Water Polluters Linked to Higher Risk of PSP

Can industrial water runoff trigger atypical parkinsonism? A 25-year study of 500,000 adults published in Neurology shows that living near facilities emitting pesticides, heavy metals, and organic pollutants is linked to a higher risk of progressive supranuclear palsy.

Breathing “Thin Air” May Protect Against Parkinson’s

Can breathing thin mountain air help Parkinson's patients? Researchers demonstrated that 39 minutes of controlled intermittent hypoxia safely lowers stress hormones, raises anti-inflammatory adiponectin, and protects BDNF levels without disturbing sleep.
