Scientists have discovered that blood flow helps direct the movement of newly formed neurons in the adult brain, revealing a surprising link between circulation and brain cell migration.

A new way of imaging the brain with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) does not directly detect neural activity as originally reported, according to scientists at MIT's McGovern Institute. The method, ...

MRI scans of the tongue can help detect and monitor Motor Neurone Disease early. UQ researchers found MND patients have ...

Standard MRI scans of a person's tongue could assist in the early detection and ongoing monitoring of motor neuron disease.

When humans and other animals are in a calm state, they tend to breathe slower, and their heartbeat also slows down.

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is among the most challenging neurological disorders: relentlessly progressive, ...

A University of Queensland study has found that MRI scans of the tongue could help detect Motor Neurone Disease (MND) early, by identifying muscle shrinkage linked to the condition.
