Neurology
– 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.
‘Resetting’ immune cells improves traumatic brain injury recovery
By inhibiting a particular receptor microglia use to survive, researchers reduced neuroinflammation and prompted recovery following traumatic brain injury in mouse models.... Read More...
Transcranial magnetic stimulation shows promise in treating stroke, dementia, and migraines
Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) shows promise in diminishing the effects of early dementia and proves a safe and effective method for treating acute migraine and PPA.... Read More...
Iron in brain shows cognitive decline in people with Parkinson’s
The measure of iron in the brain may help doctors predict which patients with Parkinson's disease are most likely to develop dementia.... Read More...
Wearable brain stimulation could safely improve motor function after stroke
A new, non-invasive wearable magnetic device stimulates the brain to rewire itself is safe to use and could help improve recovery for stroke survivors.... Read More...
Surgeons successfully treat brain aneurysms using a robot
Doctors have successfully used robotic technology to treat brain aneurysms. The robotic system could eventually allow remote surgery, enabling surgeons to treat brain disorders that require surgery from afar.... Read More...
Ethnobotanical medicine is effective against the bacterium causing Lyme disease
Ethnobotanical plant extracts, including Ghanaian quinine and Japanese knotweed, show strong activity against B.burgdorferi, outperforming current antibiotics for the treatment of Lyme disease.... Read More...
Language disorders as indicators of the diagnosis and progression of Huntington’s disease
Study reports it may be possible to detect the onset and progression of Huntington's disease through linguistic changes in patients. Linguistic impairments often begin before the onset of other Huntington's symptoms.... Read More...
Artificial intelligence yields drug that halts antibiotic-resistant bacteria
A new deep learning algorithm helped researchers identify a powerful new antibiotic compound that kills many of the world's most problematic, disease-causing bacterias, including those which have so far been resistant to common antibiotics.... Read More...
Some antibiotics prescribed during pregnancy linked to health disorders
Mothers who were prescribed macrolide antibiotics, including erythromycin and azithromycin, early in pregnancy had an increased risk of their child being born with malformations, specifically cardiovascular malformations. However, researchers found no link between exposure to these antibiotics and an increased risk of neurodevelopmental disorders.... Read More...
Childhood behaviors may predict traumatic brain injuries later in life
Boys who exhibit inattention-hyperactivity by age 10 have an increased risk for traumatic brain injury later in life.... Read More...
Parkinson’s biomarker may originate in gut
Using mouse models, researchers seeded alpha-synuclein aggregates in gut neurons and discovered the clumps can travel to neurons in the brain.... Read More...
