A new osmotic transport device removes fluid from the spinal cord to reduce swelling in rat models of SCI. Read More
Study reveals people touch the areas of their partner's body that mirror the parts of their body they enjoy having touched. A strong correlation was also drawn between touch and gaze, suggesting the parts of the body people like to be touched on aligned closely to those they liked to be looked at. Read More

Analyzing nasal discharge could be a new tool in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found certain Alzheimer's related proteins can be detected in nasal discharge. Read More
Cannabidiol (CBD) increases cerebral blood flow to areas of the brain associated with memory processing, specifically the hippocampus. The findings identify a potential mechanism for the use of CBD to treat disorders associated with altered memory processing, including Alzheimer's disease, PTSD, and schizophrenia. Read More
Researchers have identified a genetic switch in neurons that can toggle between sex-specific states when necessary. Read More
