Researchers have long recognised the therapeutic potential of using magnetoelectrics, or materials that can convert magnetic fields into electric fields, to activate neural tissue in a less invasive manner and aid in the treatment of neurological illnesses or nerve damage. The problem is tha
Scientists investigating Alzheimer's disease (AD) have discovered millions of genetic variations in the genome that contribute to the progression of this progressive neurological illness.
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a prominent cause of long-term disability and premature death, particularly among military personnel and those who participate in contact sports. Significant study has been conducted on the acute and chronic neurological repercussions of TBI; however, non-neur
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a neurological ailment described by compulsive repetitive actions such as cleaning and checking even when there is evident objective confirmation that the environment is clean, organised, and proper.
A recent study in the Elsevier journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging employs brain imaging to take a deeper look at the mechanisms underlying uncertainty processing in OCD.
Up to 5.8 million Americans currently suffer from Alzheimer's disease, a neurological ailment marked by a progressive deterioration in cognitive function, including memory loss.
Sleep deprivation not only makes you feel terrible, but research has shown that it also affects your brain. Long-term sleep deprivation increases the risk of acquiring neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's.
Researchers are attempting to determine how a lack of sleep causes this damage.
