Findings define a connection between reward, dopamine, and circadian pathways in the overeating. Read More
Researchers have developed a new online brain training program that can help reduce anxiety and depression. Read More
A new study pushes back the assumption that those on the autism spectrum do not wish to socialize with others. Researchers hope their findings will lead to more respectful treatment of those with ASD and help develop more effective methods of support for those with autism. Read More
Study reveals there are differences in genes and the genetic burdens that underpin ASD between males and females. Researchers also found specific differences in the ways the brains of girls on the autism spectrum respond to different social cues. Read More
A new small scale study reveals the antidepressant fluvoxamine may be a new tool in the fight against COVID-19. Researchers report fluvoxamine reduced the severity of coronavirus symptoms and hospitalizations. Read More
TEPP-46, a drug developed for the treatment of cancer and showed promise for the treatment of multiple sclerosis, could make MS symptoms worse, a new study reports. The drug appears to redirect inflammation away from the spinal cord and directly into the brain. Read More
Researchers confirm microglia, immune cells implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, play a role in protecting the central nervous system. Read More
Non-invasive focused ultrasound appears to be beneficial in the treatment of Parkinson's disease for patients whose symptoms are poorly controlled by traditional medications. Read More
According to researchers, axons coordinate each other's destruction, contributing to neurodegeneration. Read More
Researchers have discovered lymphatic vessels carry previously unknown messages from the brain to the immune system that triggers multiple sclerosis. Blocking the messages may provide new treatment options for the disease. Read More
A pioneering ultrasound treatment could help treat hypothalamic hamartomas, a rare, benign mass in the brain that can cause epilepsy symptoms and unintentional giggling seizures. Read More
Study identifies AIM1 inflammasomes as crucial players in the development of a properly formed central nervous system by removing genetically compromised cells. The findings shed light on neurodevelopmental dysfunctions which occur and give rise to behavioral related disorders. Read More
