Breathing in polluted air could lead to toxic particles being transported from the lungs to the brain, via the bloodstream potentially contributing to brain disorders and neurological damage, a new study reveals.
The feeling of vibration through touch and the interactions between the inner ear and the brain have close links to the motor system. The researchers speculate these physical processes are at work in the neurological connection between music and movement.
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge
The study, published today in Nature, represents a comprehensive effort to characterize ASD at the molecular level. While neurological disorders like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease have well-defined pathologies, autism and other psychiatric disorders have had a lack of defining p
Excessive activity of a limited number of brain cells causes several brain illnesses, including epilepsy. These diseases frequently do not react well to drug treatment, owing to the fact that drug influence the entire brain. A recent study revealed gene therapy to for neurological disorder.
New Delhi [India], November 1 (ANI/YourPressBuddy): Pain imposes tremendous costs on society because it reduces productivity and lower back pain is one of the common concerns that affect most people at some point in their lives.
Huntington's disease, a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative condition, is caused by a genetic error present at birth, though its symptoms often don't begin until middle adulthood. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have been trying to understand how the ageing
At one time or another, we've all felt paralyzed by a threat or danger.
Researchers from the University of Iowa have determined the origin of that response to a threat. According to a recent study, a neural circuit connecting two distinct brain regions controls how animals, including humans,
Washington [US], October 17 (ANI): Researchers at UVA Health have identified a brain chemical that coordinates the immune system's reactions to multiple sclerosis (MS) and Alzheimer's disease, potentially enabling medical professionals to boost the body's capacity to combat these and other d
Washington [US], October 4 (ANI): Medical researchers have discovered how to create more accurate, consistent brain organoids to develop treatments for neurological disorders.
Washington [US], October 1 (ANI): Researchers have discovered a protein that is responsible for controlling cell growth in yeasts. Since humans and yeasts have remarkably similar cellular mechanisms, teasing out the differences presents drug developers with new targets for treatments.
