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.
Researchers have developed a blood test that looks at genetic markers to detect which babies who were deprived of oxygen at birth are at risk of developing neurodevelopment problems. Read More
CMS121, a synthesized variant of fisetin, a chemical found in fruits and vegetables, improved memory, and slows neurodegeneration in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Glioblastoma brain cancer cells that are more resistant to radiation therapy have higher levels of purines. Reducing the level of purines made the cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. Read More
Study reports modifying twelve risk factors over your lifetime could reduce dementia risk by 40%. Read More
Study reports success in treating cognitive decline and memory loss associated with Alzheimer's disease with the aid of personalized precision medicine. Read More
Activating p38gamma, a naturally protective enzyme in the brain, may help to prevent the development of Alzheimer's disease symptoms. Researchers showed the naturally protective effects of p38gamma could be harnessed to improve memory in the later stages of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Alzheimer's risk factors could be apparent as early as our teenage years, researchers reports. The risk factors disproportionately affect African Americans and include heart health problems, high cholesterol, diabetes, and insufficient quality of education. Read More
Researchers successfully applied a gene therapy platform to completely correct brain defects in a large animal model of a human genetic disease. Read More
22% of study participants with severe gum disease developed dementia, and 23% diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment suffered extreme tooth loss. Only 14% of those with healthy gums were later diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disorder. The findings add further evidence for the link between dental hygiene and dementia. Read More
Pimavanserin substantially reduces symptoms of psychosis and relapse risk for people living with dementia. Read More
Those with MS allocate neural resources less effectively when faced with increased cognitive task demands, and this likely results in the increased mental fatigue those with the neurodegenerative disorder experience. Read More
