Certain drugs used to treat urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate may be associated with a reduced risk of dementia with Lewy bodies, according to a study published in the June 19, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
Researchers at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and College of Medicine have found that the practical and brief SAGE test was easily incorporated into primary care providers’ visits. The free Self-Administered Gerocognitive Exam (SAGE) developed by Ohio State researchers is designed to detect early signs of cognitive, memory or thinking impairments. It evaluates a person’s thinking abilities and helps physicians to know how well their brain is working.
Hasta la mitad de las personas con epilepsia resistente a los medicamentos (ERD) pueden beneficiarse de la cirugía. Sin embargo, en muchas regiones de bajos recursos, el establecimiento de un programa quirúrgico requiere enfrentar múltiples desafíos.
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that safety interventions – such as walkers, grab bars, ramps and other home modifications – allow many stroke survivors to keep living independently in their homes and may reduce their risk of death.
June is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month. This month is crucial for highlighting the importance of brain health and supporting the millions of individuals and families affected by these conditions. Increased public awareness and understanding are essential as the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s continues to rise.
The Federal Drug Administration approved a clinical trial to test the effectiveness of an electronic grid that records brain activity during surgery, developed by engineers at the University of California San Diego.
A novel Children’s Hospital Los Angeles study led by Mimi S. Kim, MD, MSc, has received the 2024 prize for Best Original Research Paper from Hormone Research in Paediatrics and the Pediatric Endocrine Society (PES)
A statistical tool designed to analyze 11 characteristics of postmortem brains reliably diagnosed a common neurodegenerative disease known as essential tremor (ET), a study led by researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center and Columbia University shows. Their findings, 20 years in the making and published in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, could eventually help relatives of deceased ET patients know their hereditary risk of getting the disease.
Tratar un cáncer cerebral se vuelve complicado cuando comienza a crecer, y un tipo frecuente, conocido como glioma, tiene una baja tasa de supervivencia a cinco años. En un nuevo estudio publicado por Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, investigadores de Mayo Clinic informan sobre una nueva plataforma quirúrgica utilizada durante las cirugías que proporciona información importante para la toma de decisiones sobre el tratamiento del tumor en cuestión de minutos.

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a noninvasive technology combining a holographic acoustic device with genetic engineering that allows them to precisely target affected neurons in the brain, creating the potential to precisely modulate selected cell types in multiple diseased brain regions.
A new method for neuroimaging analysis is shown to work with small groups of participants, opening the door for many studies that don't have access to massive sets of brain images.
In studies with genetically engineered mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers say they have identified a potentially new biological target involving Aplp1, a cell surface protein that drives the spread of Parkinson’s disease-causing alpha-synuclein.
Researchers at UC San Diego found an unusually large brain may be the first sign of autism and visible as early as the first trimester.
The Human Intracerebral EEG Platform is a cloud-based environment that encourages centers to share data and conduct research with state-of-the-art methodologies. Dr. Maryam Nouri interviews Dr. Philippe Ryvlin about the potential of the platform to advance the understanding of human brain function.
Researchers at the University of Michigan Health Rogel Cancer Center are one step closer to understanding how pediatric DIPG tumors work.
Clive Svendsen, PhD, executive director of the Board of Governors Regenerative Medicine Institute and professor of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at Cedars-Sinai, is developing new treatments and models for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) using stem cells.
People who experience prolonged depressive symptoms starting in young adulthood may have worse thinking and memory skills in middle age, according to a study published in the June 12, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
