Cleveland Clinic researchers used deep brain stimulation (DBS) to target the dentate nucleus, which regulates fine control of voluntary movements, cognition, language, and sensory functions in the brain, in the first-in-human trial for post-stroke rehabilitation patients.
According to a new Yale-led study where researchers created brain organoids from the stem cells of boys with the disorder, two distinct neurodevelopmental abnormalities that manifest just weeks after the beginning of brain development have been linked with the emergence of autism spectrum di
According to a study published in the open-access journal BMJ Mental Health, exposure to relatively high levels of air pollution is linked to a rise in the use of community mental health services by dementia patients.
Parkinson's disease (PD), which affects millions of people worldwide, causes gait irregularities that substantially decrease their quality of life. Despite the availability of several pharmacological, surgical, and rehabilitative treatments, their effectiveness is limited. This limitation ha
Accessing and studying the spinal cord is more challenging than doing so with the brain. It has been challenging to pinpoint exactly how it behaves due to its mobility and anatomical structure.
Regular behaviours, such as drinking coffee and listening to music, can affect brain activity in ways that improve cognitive function, particularly in tasks requiring focus and memory.
While it is understood that white matter loss in the brain leads to neurological abnormalities, there is currently no treatment available to help these neonates avoid this outcome.
Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists determined that the origins of autism spectrum disorder may be related to an imbalance of particular neurons that play a vital role in how the brain communicates and works using human "mini-brain" models known as organoids. The cells in question are
Glioblastoma, the most prevalent and lethal type of brain cancer, spreads quickly, invading and destroying healthy brain tissue. The tumour shoots malignant tendrils into the brain, making surgical removal of the tumour extremely difficult or impossible.
Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], August 11: In the realm of financial lending, credit scores wield significant influence over loan approvals. Highlighting the creditworthiness of individuals, these scores are pivotal in determining access to financial resources. As part of its commitment to fos
A Michigan Medicine study discovered that the longer a person suffers type 2 diabetes, the more likely they are to have changes in their brain structure.
Due to the brain's inability to recover after injury, patients frequently endure functional deterioration after an ischemic stroke. However, there is still a chance for recovery since neurons that are still alive can start up repair processes that can reduce or even undo the damage brought o
