Small phase I study suggests ‘brain pacemaker’ could slow progression of AD A study on a handful of people with...
The NIH is awarding researchers $18.8 million to help support global research into concussions and TBI.
Gene involved in dementia affects the insulin pathway, reports biology professor Chris Li and colleagues. In recent years it became...
Patients vary widely in their response to concussion, but scientists haven’t understood why. Now, using a new technique for analyzing...
A team of scientists from The Scripps Research Institute, collaborating with members of the drug discovery company Receptos, has created...
Recent findings by an international collaboration including IRCM researchers hold new implications for the pathogenesis of myotonic dystrophy.
Pupil size and salivary alpha-amylase could be biological indicators for autonomic dysfunction in children with autism spectrum disorder.
Infants at 7 months of age who go on to develop autism are slower to reorient their gaze and attention from one object to another when compared to 7-month-olds who do not develop autism, and this behavioral pattern is in part explained by atypical brain circuits.
Researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have identified a novel group of proteins that accumulate in the brains...
A new study has uncovered the neurological basis of speech motor control, the complex coordinated activity of tiny brain regions that controls our lips, jaw, tongue and larynx as we speak.
When the brain produces too much nitric oxide, it contributes to the severity and progression of stroke and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Researchers recently discovered that nitric oxide not only damages neurons, it also shuts down the brain’s repair mechanisms.
Linguistics and biology researchers propose a new theory on the deep roots of human speech. A new study suggests human language is a grafting of two communication forms found elsewhere in the animal kingdom: first, the elaborate songs of birds, and second, the more utilitarian, information-bearing types of expression seen in a diversity of other animals.
