Researchers develop a low-cost "soft machine" robotic sleeve to assist children with cerebral palsy to control their arm movements.
Mothers who were prescribed macrolide antibiotics, including erythromycin and azithromycin, early in pregnancy had an increased risk of their child being born with malformations, specifically cardiovascular malformations. However, researchers found no link between exposure to these antibiotics and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.
Researchers discovered a novel molecular target for the design of drugs which could be safer and more effective for multiple sclerosis, as well as other disorders associated with the loss of white matter in the brain.
Researchers confirm a neuroprotective effect of hypothermia treatments on the brains of newborns with HIE.
Researchers report a protein called estrogen receptor α is higher in females, providing them with stronger protection from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy.
