Research findings on ultrasound brain stimulation technologies, led by the School of Electrical Engineering, have made significant strides in modulating neuronal activity and treating brain disorders. The study, supported by various government agencies in South Korea, such as the Ministry of Science & ICT (MSIT) and the Ministry of Health

Research published in the journal Experimental Neurology has shed new light on the relationship between blood-brain barrier damage and cognitive impairment in dementia patients. A team of scientists from Peking University Third Hospital developed an animal model of cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) using ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction technology. The study

Focal leptomeningeal extension, a newly identified entity, has been found to display patterns of intracranial failure similar to parenchymal brain metastases. Researchers at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute conducted a study to assess whether patients with focal leptomeningeal extension can be managed with stereotactic radiation without excess development of marginal recurrences

Researchers at the Zhengzhou Tobacco Research Institute investigated the combined effects of nicotine and citric acid aerosols on neural activity in the male mouse brain. They demonstrated that nicotine aerosol exposure significantly enhanced c-Fos expression in various brain regions, including the hypothalamus, amygdala, midbrain, and olfactory-related areas. However, citric acid

According to a recent study published in the Journal of Head Trauma Rehabilitation, researchers have found that pain is a significant driver of physical and mental health in individuals who have experienced traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study, conducted by the Transforming Research and Clinical Knowledge in TBI (TRACK-TBI) program,

Human ancestors were exposed to lead millions of years ago, and it had a profound impact on their evolution, brain development, and even the development of language. A groundbreaking international study has revealed that our ancestors were periodically exposed to lead for over two million years, with the toxic metal

Research from the Nanjing Brain Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University has shed light on the network changes across the Alzheimer's disease (AD) continuum. Using minimum spanning tree (MST) analysis of resting-state EEG (rsEEG) data, the study investigated alterations in functional brain networks across AD stages. The research

New research conducted at Brock University and published in Alzheimer's & Dementia has shed light on the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer's disease (AD), suggesting that inflammation and mitochondrial impairments play a significant role in its development. The study, which was financially supported by the Canadian Institutes

Investigations into the effects of music intervention on cognitive function and brain network connectivity in individuals with mild Alzheimer's disease have yielded promising results. According to a new report published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, a study conducted at Capital University of Physical Education and

New research has shed light on the complex mechanisms underlying Alzheimer's disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Investigators at Nanjing University, in collaboration with several international institutions, have identified the dysregulation of superoxide anion (O2*- ) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels within specific subcellular

The toxic substance we battle today has been intertwined with the human evolution story from its very beginning, a new study has revealed. Researchers found clear traces of lead sealed within the fossils of early humans and other ancestral species, with some specimens dating back up to two million years.
