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.

This is a diagram of the brain and central nervous system.

Staging System in ALS Shows Potential Tracks of Disease Progression

Performing post-mortem staging of the brains and spinal cord tissue of patients with ALS, researchers discover the neurodegenerative disease could progress from one start point in the CNS to other regions of the brain and spinal cord.

Blocking Overactive Receptor in Alzheimer’s Recovers Memory Loss and More

Researchers show memory pathology in older mice can be reversed by blocking the activity of a specific receptor in the brain. Blocking the B1R receptor helps recover memory and cerebrovascular function.

Researchers Develop Novel Drug That Reverses Loss of Brain Connections in Models of Alzheimer’s

Researchers have developed an experimental drug, NitroMemantine, to boost brain synapses lost in Alzheimer's disease. The drug stops the destructive cascade of brain changes which destroy connections between neurons that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline.

Artificial Sweetener a Potential Treatment for Parkinson’s Disease

Researchers have discovered Mannitol, a sugar alcohol commonly found in sugar-free gum and candy, prevents clumps of the protein α-synuclein from building in the brain. This build of this protein is characteristic of Parkinson's disease. The finding could provide potential treatment options for this and other neurodegenerative diseases.

Study Points to Role of Nervous System in Arthritis

A new study supports growing evidence that the nervous system and nerve growth factor (NGF) play a significant role in arthritis. The findings also suggest reducing elevated NGF levels could be key in developing treatments for arthritis pain.

Alzheimer’s Brain Change Measured in Humans

Researchers have successfully measured a significant difference between the brains of patients with an inherited form of Alzheimer's disease and their healthy family members who do not carry the genetic mutation for the disease.
