In veterans who suffered a TBI, lack of sleep was associated with enlarged perivascular spaces and an increase in post-concussive symptoms. Read More
Study reveals a correlation between the composition of the gut microbiome and behavioral and cognitive performance in mice with Alzheimer's related genes. Read More
Some of the T cell epitopes targeting myelin in monkeys were the same as those found in humans. Researchers say linking these specific cells opens the doors to developing antiviral therapies that could be useful to treat newly diagnosed cases of MS in humans. Read More
A newly engineered compound prevents damage to myelin and nerve fibers by stimulating a protective response in cells that produce and maintain myelin. The compound has positive implications for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis. Read More
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, two drugs touted as potential coronavirus therapeutics, could increase the risk of heart arrhythmias, cardiologists say. Read More
Hikikomori, the condition of extreme social isolation, is more ubiquitous than previously believed. Researchers say modern tools to help improve interpersonal communication may have the opposite effect. Read More
A lack of oxygen as a result of preterm birth does not cause hippocampal neurons to die but does impair hippocampal development. Hypoxia causes hippocampal cells to fail to mature normally, causing a reduction in long-term potentiation and impaired learning. Read More
New model could inform the development of new treatments for Lewy body diseases by targeting alpha-synuclein DNA repair mechanisms. Read More
Combining infrared laser stimulation with ultra-high-field MRI, researchers revolutionize brain mapping. Read More
A study in mouse models of multiple sclerosis demonstrates a compound called sobetirome promotes remyelination, and a derivative of the compound can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to enable a tenfold increase in infiltration to the CNS. Researchers are confident their research will translate from mice into humans, providing a new avenue of treatment for MS. Read More
Dopamine activation controls the ensemble activity of neurons and increases oscillatory activity in the prefrontal cortex. Read More
Heavy drinking during adolescence negatively impacts brain development and growth. Chronic alcohol exposure reduces cerebral white matter and the development of the subcortical thalamus. Read More
