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.

Peering into the genome of brain tumor
A new convolutional neural network that utilizes MRI brain scans can forecast genetic mutations in glioma brain tumors.... Read More...
How a gut infection may produce chronic symptoms
Infections in the intestine may contribute to irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) by damaging the gut's nervous system. Researchers explore why neurons in the gut die as a result of infection and how the immune system normally protects them. The findings could provide new avenues of treatment for IBS.... Read More...
Speech-disrupting brain disease reflects patients’ native tongue
Language difficulties associated with primary progressive aphasia differ depending on a person's native language, a new study reports. Native English speakers with PPA have more trouble pronouncing words, while those who speak Italian had fewer pronunciation problems but tend to produce shorter and grammatically simpler sentences....

Losing a night of sleep may increase blood levels of Alzheimer’s biomarker
Following a night of sleep deprivations, levels of tau in the blood increase 17% in healthy young men.... Read More...
Antibiotics could be promising treatment for form of dementia
Gentamicin and G418, two aminoglycoside antibiotics, were effective at correcting genetic mutations associated with a specific form of frontotemporal dementia. The findings are promising for the treatment of frontotemporal dementia.... Read More...
Lifestyle choices could slow familial frontotemporal dementia
Those with a genetic predisposition to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can become resilient to the neurodegenerative disease by remaining physically and mentally active.... Read More...
Study uncovers largest US outbreak of neurologic disease to date
Study connects enterovirus A71, which causes Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease, to a large outbreak of neurological illness in the U.S in 2018. Symptoms of the virus include myoclonus, ataxia, weakness, and autonomic instability.... Read More...
