A new study reveals a link between chronic sciatica and inflammation in key areas of the nervous system. Researchers say the location of the inflammation could help to determine which patients will feel relief from steroid injections to curb the pain.
Using Raman imaging technology, University of Twente researchers have been able to obtain clear images of brain tissue affected by Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers use a newly developed imaging technique that makes tissue transparent to visualize brain tissue from deceased patients with Alzheimer's disease.
A PET neuroimaging study reveals high intensity impact training significantly increases endorphin release in brain areas associated with controlling emotion and pain.
Tau PET neuroimaging could help open the door to developing new drugs to treat Alzheimer's disease.
A new Johns Hopkins University study adds further evidence to the link between serotonin and dementia. According to researchers, lower serotonin levels may play a key role in memory decline and drive the progression of Alzheimer's.
A new neuroimaging study reports veterans with PTSD could have hormonal irregularities due to pituitary gland damage from blast related injuries.
Study reveals how the brain's opioid system modulates response to others in pain.
Parkinson's disease can be divided into two variants that start in different places in the body. For some, the neurodegenerative disease starts in the intestines and spreads to the brain. In others, the disease begins in the brain and spreads to the intestines and other organs.
Mu-opioid receptor (MOR) levels are significantly reduced in the striatum in those with schizophrenia. A lack of MOR system stimulation contributes to negative feelings, such as a lack of motivation and anhedonia, associated with the condition. Increasing MOR levels could help to reduce some of the symptoms of schizophrenia.
Researchers report deep brain stimulation has little benefit for those suffering from early onset Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers use neuroimaging techniques to find 'Christmas spirit' in the brain.
