– These articles focus mainly on neurology research.
– What is neurology?
– Definition of neurology: a science involved in the study of the nervous systems, especially of the diseases and disorders affecting them.
– Neurology research can include information involving brain research, neurological disorders, medicine, brain cancer, peripheral nervous systems, central nervous systems, nerve damage, brain tumors, seizures, neurosurgery, electrophysiology, BMI, brain injuries, paralysis and spinal cord treatments.

New nerve pathway that connects the foot and face on same side of body map discovered

Neuroscience NewsJune 18, 2019

Newly identified nerve pathway, which runs down the same side of the body, may bypass a damaged spinal cord. The findings could shed light on some neurological disorders such as referred itch or jogger's migraine.... Read More...

Sleep history predicts late-life Alzheimer’s pathology

Neuroscience NewsJune 17, 2019

Your sleep history during middle age may predict Alzheimer's pathology later in life. A decrease in sleep quality between 50 and 70 years of age is associated with higher levels of tau and amyloid beta in the brain. Changes in brain activity and quality of sleep could be a biomarker for Alzheimer's disease.... Read More...

Antioxidant puts up fight, but loses battle against protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease

Neuroscience NewsJune 17, 2019

During early Alzheimer's disease, SOD1 initially weakens levels of Tau protein. However, as the disease progresses, the antioxidant becomes less effective at protecting the brain against neurodegeneration.... Read More...

Moral emotions, a diagnostic tool for frontotemporal dementia?

Neuroscience NewsJune 14, 2019

Moral emotions are significantly more impaired than emotions without moral content in those with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). By contrast, those with Alzheimer's disease exhibit similar performance in both moral and extra-moral emotions as healthy subjects. The findings provide a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of FTD....

Phantom sensations: When the sense of touch deceives

Neuroscience NewsJune 14, 2019

Healthy individuals some times misattribute tactile stimulation to the wrong side, and even wrong parts, of their body. This is especially true if the part of the body is crossed, where the left hand is positioned on the right, for example. Findings shed new light on the way in which the brain represents the body....
