Researchers implanted specialized neural stem cell grafts directly into mice with spinal cord injuries. As the grafts grew, they integrated with and mimicked the animal's existing neural network. Read More
An implantable, wireless brain-computer interface device can help improve the functional independence of those living with paralysis, a new study reports. Read More
Study provides evidence of gut dysbiosis associated with Huntington's disease. Some of the gut measures were associated with disease symptoms such as movement and cognitive impairment. The findings could provide a new avenue of treatment for the neurodegenerative disease. Read More
Obesity and higher body mass are linked to decreased cerebral blood flow. Lower cerebral blood flow is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease and a range of psychiatric disorders. Read More
Researchers have developed a blood test that looks at genetic markers to detect which babies who were deprived of oxygen at birth are at risk of developing neurodevelopment problems. Read More
CMS121, a synthesized variant of fisetin, a chemical found in fruits and vegetables, improved memory, and slows neurodegeneration in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Glioblastoma brain cancer cells that are more resistant to radiation therapy have higher levels of purines. Reducing the level of purines made the cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. Read More
Study reports modifying twelve risk factors over your lifetime could reduce dementia risk by 40%. Read More
Study reports success in treating cognitive decline and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease with the aid of personalized precision medicine. Read More
Activating p38gamma, a naturally protective enzyme in the brain, may help to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease symptoms. Researchers showed the naturally protective effects of p38gamma could be harnessed to improve memory in the later stages of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
