Buphenyl (sodium phenylbutyrate), a medication approved for the treatment of hyperammonemia, could help prevent the progression of Alzheimer's disease, a new study finds. Read More
Using several imaging methods, researchers note chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, CCSVI, occurs in low rates for patients with multiple sclerosis and non-MS volunteers. Read More
Using MRI scans on patients with multiple sclerosis and associated cognitive problems, researchers noted extra white matter dysfunction in areas important for cognitive skills. Read More
Researchers discover a build up of acylcarnitines in Schwann cells can lead to nerve damage noted in patients with peripheral neuropathy. Read More
Deep Brain Stimulation Shows Promise for Patients with Chronic, Treatment Resistant Anorexia Nervosa
Researchers observe weight gain and improved mental state in some patients with chronic anorexia nervosa as a result of deep brain stimulation. Read More
According to new research, the human brain can adapt to treat a relevant prosthetic as a substitute for a person's non-working body part, and not as an extension to their immobile limb. Read More
Monitoring the synapses of living mice, researchers discover an important genetic switch for brain maturation. Mice without the Nogo Receptor 1 gene have persistent levels of juvenile brain plasticity through adulthood. Read More
Researchers discovered the CALHM1 channel protein releases ATP to make a neural taste connection. Read More
The lateral intraparietal area (LIP), a region of the brain known to play a vital role in spatial and visual processing also has a parallel function, categorizing visual information, a new study suggests. Read More
Researcher discover age related dementia likely occurs due to the declining ability for neurons to dispose of unwanted aggregated proteins. Read More
Researchers identify the role of the tumor suppressor Merlin in regulating the integrity of axons. Damage to the axons may result in peripheral neuropathy. Read More
Researchers used a specific molecule in green tea extract, EGCG, to control metal associated amyloid beta aggregates associated with Alzheimer's disease and other neurodegenerative disorders. Read More
