Odds for developing Parkinson’s disease increased with newer groundwater and with carbonate aquifers, according to a poster ...

Nothing rivals the human brain's complexity. Its 86 billion neurons and 85 billion other cells make an estimated 100 trillion ...

Scientists have made a major advance in developmental neuroscience, creating the very first detailed atlas of how the vascular network of a mouse's brain grows after birth. Their study is published in ...

Scientists looking for the causes of neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's generally focus on the ...

On April 18, 1861, Paul Broca conducted an autopsy on a speechless patient named "Tan," and discovered the seat of language.

This review argues that neurodegeneration is shaped not only by toxic protein buildup but also by immune signaling, with ...

New research suggests that tubulin may help prevent the toxic protein clumps associated with Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s ...

FDA acceptance positions 18F-FET as a potential first-in-class US-approved amino acid PET agent for glioma characterization, addressing a major posttreatment imaging specificity gap.

A hidden waste-removal pathway in the brain has finally been caught in action. Using cutting-edge MRI scans, researchers ...

Lytle ND, MPH, CNS  Abstract Why optimizing glymphatic drainage is essential for cognitive resilience, detoxification, and ...

Key insight: The glymphatic system flushes amyloid plaques primarily during deep NREM sleep. Disruptions to sleep architecture — whether caused by ageing, inflammation, or vascular stiffness — reduce ...

In a bid to better understand, and potentially treat, a host of conditions that affect early cognition, neurodevelopment, and the brain later in life, investigators at Johns Hopkins Medicine and ...
