Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron ...

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Reducing RAD23A levels helped nerve cells better handle toxic TDP-43 protein clumps, improving survival and function in an ALS mouse model.

Scientists have mapped the sensory neurons in bone for the first time, and identified their dual role in reporting and ...

For patients with dementia, postoperative delirium can accelerate long-term cognitive decline. Vagus nerve stimulation could reduce brain inflammation and disruptions in awareness and attention.

After surgery, some older adults don't simply recover—they unravel. Confusion, inattention, and agitation can set in, a condition known as postoperative delirium. For patients already living with ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

The brain and vagus nerve play a key role in exacerbating tissue damage after a heart attack, but there are ways to block it.

A viral infection can trigger a neurological disease similar to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) in mice with a specific ...

A heart attack activates stress circuits in the brain that evolved for survival but can amplify inflammation, disrupt healing ...

Alzheimer's disease has long been thought to be irreversible, but new research using a mouse model offers hope.

Brain tumors are abnormal growths of cells in or around the brain. They can be primary (originating in the brain) or secondary (metastatic, spreading to the brain from cancer elsewhere). They can also ...
