– 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.

Head Injuries in Adults Linked to Dementia

A large-scale Canadian study has found that older adults who sustain traumatic brain injuries (TBI) face a significantly higher risk of developing dementia, needing home care, or being admitted to long-term care. Researchers found that TBIs, most commonly caused by falls, increase dementia risk by up to 69% in the first five years following injury.

Glioblastoma Found to Erode Skull and Hijack Immune System

Glioblastoma, the most lethal brain cancer, doesn’t just damage the brain—it erodes the skull and disrupts the immune system by reshaping marrow inside the skull. Researchers discovered that tumors increase skull-to-brain channels, allowing waves of inflammatory immune cells to flow to the cancer site, fueling its growth.

Long COVID Linked to Surge in POTS Cases

Researchers have found that postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) occurs in almost a third of patients with severe long COVID, making it far more common than in the general population. The study, the largest to date on the subject, showed that middle-aged women were most affected, with symptoms including dizziness, rapid heart rate, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.

Tiny Fat Messengers May Link Obesity to Alzheimer’s Plaque Buildup

A groundbreaking study reveals how obesity may drive Alzheimer’s disease through tiny messengers called extracellular vesicles released from fat tissue.

Vision Therapy Restores Sight in Post-Concussion Eye Disorders

Concussions can leave lasting effects on vision, with nearly half of young patients experiencing disorders that disrupt daily life and delay return to normal activities. A new study shows that 12 weeks of targeted vision therapy restored normal vision in almost 90% of adolescents and young adults, compared to only 10% who improved without therapy.

Psilocybin Rewire Brain Circuits Tied to Pain and Mood

New research shows that psilocybin, the active compound in psychedelic mushrooms, can reduce both chronic pain and pain-related depression by modulating brain circuits rather than acting at the site of injury. In mouse studies, a single dose provided pain relief and mood benefits lasting nearly two weeks by targeting the anterior cingulate cortex.

From Cancer to Alzheimer’s: Decoding RNA-Protein Signals

Scientists have created a breakthrough technology that reveals the entire network of RNA-protein interactions in human cells, offering new insights into how diseases develop. The method freezes and tags RNAs and proteins as they touch, turning them into unique DNA barcodes that can be decoded with sequencing.

ALS May Be an Autoimmune Disease

A groundbreaking study has shown that ALS may actually be an autoimmune disease. Researchers discovered that CD4+ T cells attack neuron-associated proteins, driving rapid disease progression.

Alzheimer’s Study Finds Blood-Brain Barrier Largely Intact

A new study suggests that the blood-brain barrier (BBB) remains intact in a widely used mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Using a tracer molecule and advanced analysis, scientists found no significant leakage across brain regions, even near amyloid plaques.

Over 99% of Heart Attacks Linked to At Least One Known Risk Factor

A massive international study shows that nearly all heart attacks, strokes, and cases of heart failure occur in people with at least one known cardiovascular risk factor. More than 9 million South Korean adults and thousands of U.S. adults were tracked, revealing that over 99% had nonoptimal blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, or tobacco use years before their first event.

Musicians’ Brains Show Remarkable Resistance to Pain

A new study finds that musicians experience pain differently than non-musicians, thanks to how their brains adapt through years of training. While pain usually shrinks the brain’s motor maps and increases discomfort, musicians showed stable motor maps and reported less pain after induced hand soreness.

Sleep Disorders Predict Parkinson’s or Dementia Years Ahead

Two landmark international studies show that brain biomarkers can predict whether people with REM sleep behaviour disorder (iRBD) will develop Parkinson’s disease or dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). MRI scans revealed that reduced glymphatic system function signals higher risk for Parkinson’s, while increased free water in the basal nucleus of Meynert predicts progression to DLB.
