Scientists at the University of California San Diego have discovered a new explanation for how blood vessels in the brain expand and contract together in harmony. Researchers found that the rhythmic muscle movements of the gut, which help move food through the digestive system, could be the key to understanding

Researchers at the University of Cambridge, UK, and National Institute on Aging, US, have made a groundbreaking discovery in understanding the complex mechanisms that drive progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). By reprogramming skin cells from MS patients into induced neural stem cells (iNSCs), they identified a previously unknown type of brain

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine (UCI) have made significant progress in finding a new way to protect the brain from cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI). Led by Munjal Acharya, PhD, the team identified a targeted approach to block the neuro-inflammatory effects of radiation therapy for brain cancer, which can

Despite the unique wiring of each brain, people often perceive the world in similar ways. Researchers from Reichman University and the Weizmann Institute of Science investigated how individuals with different neural connections can share similar perceptions. They observed the activity patterns of brain neurons in epilepsy patients with implanted electrodes,

Children and young people with movement disorders in the UK who receive deep brain stimulation (DBS) therapy exhibit a range of clinical characteristics, including varying causes of movement disorder, functional levels, and pharmacological management. The research highlights the need for better planning of future service provision to meet the diverse

Research by a team at the University of Portsmouth in England has made significant progress in understanding the biological mechanisms underlying anxiety in situations where individuals are faced with no-win choices. A study involving 40 young adults, aged 18-24, used a video game-like task to induce anxiety-related conflict, while their

Severe malnutrition, both under and overnutrition, has a profound impact on early childhood brain development, leading to long-term cognitive, emotional, and mental health disorders. A recent review published in Seminars In Pediatric Neurology highlights the critical role of nutrition in early brain development, emphasizing the need for early intervention to

A retrospective study on pediatric patients with brain tumors who underwent craniotomies has identified several risk factors for new-onset postoperative seizures. The study, conducted at the Princess Maxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, found that supratentorial tumor localization, hyponatremia, and age younger than 1 year were significant risk factors for seizures.
