The results of a Phase 1 clinical trial involving stem cells from a patient's own bone marrow used to treat traumatic brain injury in children show that the procedure is safe.

– 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.
Neurobiology research combining laser scanning and electron microscopy, novel neuroimaging techniques and neural network modeling is providing new insight into how real neural circuits may behave.
Researchers believe they have found a link between the volume of one's cerebellum and general intelligence.
New Parkinson's disease research suggests defective regulation of microtubules may be responsible for some cases of Parkinson's disease.
Research involving programmed cell death has lead to new information about the involvement of a protein named FLIP in cell...
Alzheimer’s disease research has lead to important findings involving the tau gene and the possibility of reversing the disease’s progression....
Scientists show that SR-3306 delivered orally to mice and rat models of Parkinson's disease was able to protect brain cells from neurodegeneration. SR-3306 inhibits the c-jun-N-terminal kinases (JNK) class of enzymes, previously shown to play large roles in neuron survival.
Scientists found that the protein named reelin is deeply involved in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex...
Parkinson’s disease may be caused by oxidative stress within cells due to defective nucleoli. Dopamine producing neurons are particularly sensitive...
Scientists have discovered genetic mutations in brain tumors that alter brain tumor metabolism. The scientists report that cells with defective...
The researchers claim Taxol was effective in promoting regeneration of injured spinal cord nerve cells in rats following spinal cord lesions. Only a few weeks following the spinal cord lesions and Taxol application, rats showed significant improvement in movements.
A study on the effects of shunt operations to treat dementia caused by white matter changes and hydrocephalus shows brain shunt operations improved performance in mental functions and walking.
