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.

Sleep Brain Waves Linked to Consciousness in Coma

A new study finds that sleep spindles—bursts of brain activity during sleep—may predict recovery in unresponsive patients with recent brain injuries. Researchers analyzed EEG recordings of 226 comatose patients and found that those with sleep spindles were significantly more likely to regain consciousness and functional independence.

Brain Map Reveals Early Signs of MS Before Symptoms Appear

Researchers have created a four-dimensional brain map that reveals how MS-like lesions form, providing new insights into the earliest stages of the disease. Using a marmoset model instead of mice, they tracked lesion development in real time with MRI imaging, identifying vulnerable brain regions weeks before visible damage occurred.

This shows a person running and a brain.

Physical Activity Lowers Brain Disease Risk

A large study found that people who engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity are significantly less likely to develop dementia, stroke, anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. Researchers analyzed data from over 73,000 individuals using wearable devices to track their activity levels, providing objective measurements of movement and sedentary behavior.

Alzheimer’s Study Identifies 16 Risk Genes

A large whole-genome sequencing study has uncovered 16 new genes linked to Alzheimer’s disease, expanding genetic research beyond European ancestry. Researchers analyzed data from 49,149 individuals, nearly half of whom were from underrepresented populations, to improve understanding of genetic risk factors.

FDA Approves Adaptive DBS for Parkinson’s Patients

The FDA has approved adaptive deep brain stimulation (aDBS), a breakthrough therapy that adjusts in real time to Parkinson’s disease symptoms. Unlike traditional DBS, which delivers constant stimulation, aDBS monitors brain activity and responds with precise electric pulses to prevent stiffness and involuntary movements.

Brain Bleeds Double Dementia Risk

Researchers have found that intracranial hemorrhages, or "brain bleeds," double the risk of developing dementia later in life. While ischemic strokes caused by blood clots have long been linked to cognitive decline, this study shows that hemorrhages also significantly increase dementia risk. Using Medicare data from nearly 15,000 patients, scientists observed a two-fold increase in dementia diagnosis within about 5.6 years after a brain bleed.

How CBD Modulates THC’s Impact on the Brain

Researchers have identified how CBD interacts with cannabinoid receptors to mitigate the negative effects of THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. Unlike THC, which fully activates the receptor and causes side effects like memory loss and addiction, CBD acts as a modulator, fine-tuning receptor activity.

Imaging Reveals Gut-Brain Connection in Alzheimer’s Disease

Scientists have used advanced X-ray phase-contrast tomography (XPCT) to uncover how gut health may influence Alzheimer’s disease. The study found structural changes in the gut of Alzheimer’s-affected mice, revealing abnormalities in intestinal cells, neurons, and mucus secretion.

Oral Bacteria Linked to Stroke Risk

A new study finds that the bacteria Streptococcus anginosus is more abundant in the saliva and gut of people who have had a stroke and is associated with a higher risk of death and major cardiovascular events. Researchers compared 189 stroke patients with 55 non-stroke participants, finding that this bacterium increased stroke risk by 20%.

REM Sleep Delays May Indicate Early Alzheimer’s

Delayed rapid eye movement (REM) sleep may be an early indicator of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers found that participants with delayed REM sleep had higher levels of toxic proteins associated with Alzheimer’s and reduced levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports memory.

This shows the outline of a person and a brain.

Long COVID Impairs Exercise Capacity and Cognition for Years

A study of nearly 1,000 people with post-COVID-19 syndrome (PCS) revealed that two-thirds still experienced significant symptoms, including reduced exercise capacity and cognitive performance, two years after infection. Persistent symptom clusters included fatigue, neurocognitive disturbances, and post-exertional malaise, with worse outcomes in individuals with obesity, lower education, or severe initial infections.

Antibiotics and Other Drugs May Reduce Dementia Risk

A study analyzing data from over 130 million individuals found that antibiotics, antivirals, vaccines, and anti-inflammatory medications are associated with a reduced risk of dementia. This supports the idea that infections and inflammation contribute to dementia and highlights the potential of repurposing existing drugs for prevention or treatment.
