Children with Tourette syndrome could benefit from behavioural therapy to reduce their symptoms, according to a new brain imaging study....
Researchers believe they have found a link between the volume of one's cerebellum and general intelligence.
Researchers created a wide variety of motor neurons using human embryonic stem cells and a new technique. In previous research,...
Alzheimer’s disease research has lead to important findings involving the tau gene and the possibility of reversing the disease’s progression....
Scientists show that SR-3306 delivered orally to mice and rat models of Parkinson's disease was able to protect brain cells from neurodegeneration. SR-3306 inhibits the c-jun-N-terminal kinases (JNK) class of enzymes, previously shown to play large roles in neuron survival.
Scientists found that the protein named reelin is deeply involved in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex...
Scientists have discovered genetic mutations in brain tumors that alter brain tumor metabolism. The scientists report that cells with defective...
The researchers claim Taxol was effective in promoting regeneration of injured spinal cord nerve cells in rats following spinal cord lesions. Only a few weeks following the spinal cord lesions and Taxol application, rats showed significant improvement in movements.
A study on the effects of shunt operations to treat dementia caused by white matter changes and hydrocephalus shows brain shunt operations improved performance in mental functions and walking.
Scientists discovered the reaction which starts the formation of amyloid fibers. Amyloid fibers are problematic in many diseases and disorders...
Neuroscientists found that the specific microRNA, microRNA-29 (miR-29), can make brain cells resistant to programmed cell death. The researchers injected...
Max Planck researchers discovered that large, less hydrophobic proteins with a significant increase of disorder in their structures were more...
