NU-9, an experimental drug, appears to be more effective at treating ALS than existing medications.
Researchers have identified a master gene that programs ear hair cells into either inner or outer cells. The discovery could lead to new treatments to restore hearing loss associated with aging, noise exposure, or as an adverse reaction to medical therapies.
Your epigenetic "age" can predict your risk of developing cognitive impairments and dementia later in life, a new study reports. Epigenetic age takes into account specific personal epigenetic changes that occur in relation to your biological age.
Study identified five different neurological disorders that attack the brain's language network, resulting in primary progressive aphasia.
Many women experienced lingering depression throughout pregnancy and postpartum, despite using SSRI antidepressants, a new study reports.
A breakdown in regulatory mechanisms causes iron to build up in the brain during aging, increasing oxidative stress and increasing the risk of age-related cognitive decline, a new study reports.
Deep, uninterrupted sleep can help boost learning names and faces, a new study reports.
Children with autism have abnormally low levels of the CNTNAP2 protein. The protein, which can be detected in cerebrospinal fluid samples, may serve as a new biomarker for autism and could potentially become a target to treat epilepsy that is commonly associated with ASD.
A taste for black coffee and dark chocolate is possibly a genetic trait, a new study reports. Coffee drinkers who have a genetic variant that reflects faster caffeine metabolism prefer bitter, black coffee. The same genetic variant is found in those who prefer dark chocolate.
Patients who listened to personalized live music via tele-music showed a reduction in stress and anxiety.
Chains of fatty acids in the lysosome that are one-half nanometer longer than normal-length chains were associated with a degenerative form of Gaucher disease, a genetic condition related to Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have identified a new gene called Tango10 which plays a key role in daily circadian behavioral rhythms.
