Study reveals novel therapeutic target for traumatic brain injury
Updated : 1 year, 10 months ago IST
Health outcomes vary greatly among the approximately 1.5 million Americans who survive a traumatic brain injury each year. Not only can these injuries cause loss of coordination, depression, impulsivity, and difficulties concentrating, but they also increase the risk of getting dementia in

Smaller hippocampus associated with cognitive decline: Study
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
With the development of new medications that can target the amyloid-beta plaques in the brain that are an early symptom of Alzheimer's disease, new methods for determining whether memory loss and thinking issues are caused by Alzheimer's disease or another neurodegenerative disease are requi

Study finds how mutant protein can invade brain
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
In many neurodegenerative diseases, aberrant proteins build up and spread throughout the brain over time. But aggregation or propagation—which comes first? Japanese researchers offer some fresh perspectives on the mechanism underlying Parkinson's illness. In a study published recently in C
