Researchers say measuring signals from a single neuron may be as good as capturing information from many neurons at once. Read More
Immune cells can accelerate the growth of cancerous tumors in mouse models of NF1. Read More
In pregnant women and mice, the daily schedule shifts a few hours forward during the first trimester. Activity levels also dip during this time. The advance of the daily schedule stabilizes, before gradually returning to normal during later stages of pregnancy. Read More
Researchers have identified a new autoimmune disease that causes muscle pain and weakness. Large-histiocyte-related immune myopathy (LHIM), generates similar results to the condition rhabdomyolysis in blood chemistry samples. LHIM can effectively be treated with anti-inflammatory drugs to help reduce symptoms. Read More
A new study reveals women's brain tend to appear three years younger than males of the same age. Researchers report this could be a reason why women tend to remain mentally sharp longer than men. Read More
A new study reports sleep deprivation increases the levels of tau, and accelerates the spread of the protein, in the brain. The findings reveal a lack of sleep alone may help drive the development of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers report a new blood test can help detect neurological damage associated with Alzheimer's disease before any of the cognitive symptoms appear. Additionally, researchers report the test may be applied to help identify brain damage associated with TBI, stroke and multiple sclerosis. Read More
A new study links poor sleep quality in older adults with elevated levels of tau, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report poor sleep quality later in life may be associated with declining brain health and may be an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
A new study has identified racial disparities between African Americans and Caucasians in the level of a key biomarker used to identify Alzheimer's disease. Read More
A new study reveals distinct molecular differences in signatures of glioblastoma brain cancer between men and women. Researchers report current treatments for the brain cancer are more effective in women than in men. The findings could help to tailor treatments aimed at the different sexes and improve survival.

Study reports a mutation in a single gene that causes hereditary frontotemporal dementia makes it harder for neurons to communicate, leading to neurodegeneration. Read More
