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.
How High Blood Pressure Hurts Cognition
Researchers report impairments in the neuroprotective communication between neural blood vessels, astrocytes and neurons may be an early factor in how high blood pressure may impair cognitive function.... Read More...
Obesity Plus Aging Linked to Alzheimer’s Markers in the Brain
A new study reports high sugar and fat based diets that lead to obesity, coupled with the normal aging process, may increase the risk of Alzheimer's disease. ... Read More...
New Mechanism to Explain the Spread of Alzheimer’s Discovered
Researchers report exosomes help neuron-to-neuron growth and the transfer of oligomer amyloid beta, resulting in apoptosis. The study reveals exosomes may be a primary mediator of the pathogenic progression of Alzheimer's disease.... Read More...
Men with Migraine May Have Higher Estrogen Levels
A new study reveals men who experience migraines have higher levels of estrogen than men who do not suffer the debilitating headaches.... Read More...
Poliovirus Therapy for Recurrent Glioblastoma Has 3 Year Survival Rate of 21%
A new study reports a genetically modified poliovirus therapy has been shown to improve long term survival rates in recurrent glioblastoma brain cancer patients. Researchers say the therapy had a three year survival rate for 21 percent of participants in a phase 1 clinical trial, compared to just 4% of patients who received more standard treatments. ...

Next Generation EEG Could Help Bring Back Lost Brain Function
A new device that combines brain stimulation with EEG recordings could help to restore brain function in those suffering neurological disorders.... Read More...
Don’t Let Depression Keep You From Exercising
Researchers say exercise is crucial to the overall health of those with depression. The study reveals people with higher levels of fitness during middle age were significantly less likely to die from cardiovascular disease, even if they were diagnosed with depression.... Read More...
Your Brain with a Migraine
Researchers have identified electrical activity in the brain that is specific to the start of migraines. The new study reports spreading depolarization can be seen as a migraine begins, and an electrical current can be used to stop it in its tracks.... Read More...
True Nature of Cells Blamed in Alzheimer’s Revealed
Researchers confirm microglia, immune cells implicated in neurodegenerative disorders, play a role in protecting the central nervous system.... Read More...
Insights Into Amyloids Associated with Alzheimer’s and Type 2 Diabetes
A new study sheds light on the stabilizing forces of amyloid fibrils associated with Alzheimer's, type 2 diabetes and other neurodegenerative disorders. ... Read More...
Genes Linking Alzheimer’s to Down Syndrome Discovered
Researchers report extra copies of genes on chromosome 21 increase Alzheimer's like pathology and cognitive impairment in mouse models of Down syndrome. The findings provide insight into early onset Alzheimer's in those with Down syndrome.... Read More...
