Researchers have identified the role Klf9 plays in the brain's response to stress. The study reports elevated levels of the protein were discovered in the hippocampus of women with MDD who faced stressful events.
Vascular risk factors appear to have a negative synergistic effect with amyloid beta levels in the brain, researchers report. The study suggests a combination of increased vascular risk and higher amyloid levels in the brain can predict more rapid cognitive decline during aging.
A new study reveals a link between chronic sciatica and inflammation in key areas of the nervous system. Researchers say the location of the inflammation could help to determine which patients will feel relief from steroid injections to curb the pain.
Researchers report the addition of an FDA approved chemotherapy drug called hydroxyyurea to temozolomide helps to increase survival rates in animal models of glioblastoma.
Mass General researchers have developed a strategy for treating disorders related to the X chromosome.
Researchers have developed a new class of drugs that may be more precise at blocking the production of toxic forms of amyloid beta.
Providing patients with acute TBI access to early fMRI and EEG testing will allow medical professionals greater ability to detect levels of consciousness. A new Brain study reports bedside exams may miss critical information about neurophysiological damage.
A new study sheds light on why some people on the autism spectrum have problems maintaining eye contact. Researchers say that eye avoidance behavior may be triggered by excessive arousal stemming from an over-activation in a specific region of the brain.
A new study sheds light on the neural mechanism behind why some people with autism are unable to make eye contact with others.
Researchers have identified silent, seizure like activity in the hippocampus of two patients with Alzheimer's disease. They believe the seizure activity could contribute to the cognitive symptoms associated with the disease.
Researchers report the reward system in the brains of female alcoholics are larger than in women who are not addicted to alcohol. By contrast, this area is smaller in alcoholic men than non-alcoholic men.
