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.

Obesity May Accelerate Brain Aging and Cognitive Loss

New research reveals that long-term obesity patterns have distinct impacts on brain structure, function, and cognition. Using data from the UK Biobank, researchers identified five obesity trajectories and linked them to different levels of neurological deterioration.

Dad’s Alzheimer’s May Raise Tau Levels in Your Brain

New research reveals that people with a father who had Alzheimer’s may be more vulnerable to the spread of tau protein in the brain, a hallmark of the disease. The study followed 243 individuals with a family history of Alzheimer’s over nearly seven years and found that those with affected fathers, especially women, showed greater tau buildup.

Chemotherapy Disrupts Brain Connectivity

New research reveals that chemotherapy can lead to rapid and widespread changes in brain connectivity in breast cancer patients. Using functional MRI scans, scientists observed disruptions in the frontal-limbic system and cerebellar cortex, regions involved in executive function and memory.

Eye Clues May Reveal Early Dementia Risk

A new study has found that blood vessels in the retina may hold early clues about a person’s risk of developing dementia. Researchers observed that narrower arterioles, wider venules, and thinner retinal nerve fiber layers were linked to higher dementia risk around midlife.

Natural Compound in Kale May Help Treat ALS and Dementia

A natural antioxidant found in foods like kale and berries, kaempferol, may help protect nerve cells and shows promise as a treatment for ALS and dementia. Researchers found that it improves energy production and eases stress within nerve cells, helping maintain muscle function and slow degeneration.

Low Vitamin K Intake May Accelerate Age-Related Memory Decline

A new study reveals that insufficient vitamin K may harm brain health and memory as we age. In rodent models, a vitamin K-deficient diet led to increased brain inflammation and fewer newly formed neurons in the hippocampus—key factors in learning and memory.

Blood Flow Boosts Brain Stiffness in Key Memory Region

Researchers have discovered that increased blood flow is linked to greater stiffness in the hippocampus, the brain region vital for memory and learning. This is significant because the hippocampus is among the first regions affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

AI Tool Tracks MS Brain Changes in Seconds

A new AI tool, MindGlide, can rapidly analyze routine brain MRI scans to detect subtle changes caused by multiple sclerosis (MS), such as brain shrinkage and lesions. Traditionally requiring expert interpretation, this process now takes just seconds, allowing more efficient monitoring of disease progression and treatment effects.

Shingles Vaccine Linked to Lower Dementia Risk

A new study has found that getting vaccinated against shingles may reduce the risk of developing dementia by 20% over seven years. This conclusion comes from a natural experiment in Wales, where vaccine eligibility was determined by birthdate.

ADHD Drugs Linked to Heart Effects

A large new analysis of 102 clinical trials finds that ADHD medications have overall small effects on blood pressure and heart rate in both children and adults. These cardiovascular effects—mostly modest increases—were consistent across stimulants and non-stimulants, with guanfacine being the exception, lowering these parameters.

Female Hormones Trigger Pain Relief via Immune Cells

Scientists have discovered that female hormones like estrogen and progesterone can trigger immune cells near the spinal cord to release natural opioids, easing pain before it reaches the brain. These immune cells, known as T regulatory cells (T-regs), are located in the meninges and produce the painkilling molecule enkephalin in response to hormonal signals.

Heart Failure Accelerates Brain Aging

A large new study reveals that heart failure significantly accelerates cognitive decline, causing affected individuals to mentally age a decade within just seven years of diagnosis. Researchers tracked nearly 30,000 adults and found that heart failure was associated with a sharp drop in cognitive function at diagnosis and a faster decline in global cognition and executive function over time.
