The shape of a specific set of proteins differs in the spinal fluid of patients with Parkinson's disease compared to those without the neurodegenerative disease.
A new neuroimaging study identifies migraine sufferers have enlarged perivascular spaces in a brain region called the centrum semiovale.
Persistent asthma in adults was associated with increased inflammation and an excess build-up of plaques in the carotid arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Researchers have identified two new genes, ATP8B4 and ABCA1, that are implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The genes impact the brain's immune system and cholesterol processing, leading to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
A novel compound eliminates disease-causing segments of RNA associated with ALS and dementia, and restores the health of neurons in mouse models.
Increasing consumption of food and drinks high in antioxidant flavonols helps slow memory and cognitive decline, a new study reports.
Researchers have developed a family of adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) that are able to cross the blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapies directly to the brain.
Results of a phase three clinical trial of a novel brain cancer vaccine, DCVax-L, that uses a patient's stem cells to target cancer cells extend survival by many months to years for glioblastoma patients.
Taking NSAIDs such as ibuprofen or naproxen for arthritis may make inflammation worse over time, a new study reports.
Neuroimaging study reveals significant brain changes in areas associated with language comprehension, cognition, and circadian rhythm control six months after COVID-19 infection.
Novel PET imaging probes will show real-time brain activity that occurs during disease progression in autism and Alzheimer's disease.
People over the age of 45 who use anti-hyperglycemic medications to control their Type 2 diabetes are at increased risk of developing multiple sclerosis. However, those who are under 45 and take anti-hyperglycemic medications are at reduced risk of MS.
