– 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.

How the eyes might be windows to the risk of Alzheimer’s disease

Neuroscience News
Adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer's disease, have greater pupil dilation when taking cognitive tests than their cognitively normal peers. Task-evoked pupillary response may be a cost-effective, and low invasive screening test for those at genetic risk for Alzheimer's before the symptoms of the disease take hold. ... Read More...

Study identifies first potential biomarker for a debilitating fainting condition

Neuroscience News
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), a disorder characterized by sudden fainting, may be an autoimmune disease. A new study reveals 89% of patients with the condition had elevated levels of autoantibodies against the adrenergic alpha 1 receptor. The potential biomarker can be identified via blood samples. ...

Genes associated with left-handedness linked with shape of the brain’s language regions

Neuroscience News
Four genetic regions have been identified as playing a role in left-handedness. Three of the four genes were associated with proteins involved in brain development and structure. Neuroimaging revealed those who were left-handed had increased functional connectivity between left and right language networks. Researchers also found correlations between the genetic regions associated with left-handedness and slightly reduced Parkinson's risk, but a slightly increased risk for schizophrenia.... Read More...
