Brain capillary damage forecasts early onset of Alzheimer’s disease, as it signals cognitive impairment before the hallmark toxic proteins amyloid and tau appear, new research from University of Southern California […]
Having excess body fat, particularly around the gut, may be linked to brain shrinkage, a new study reports. Researchers calculated obesity by measuring body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio […]
Measurable dissimilarities in the patterns and speed of development in autism spectrum disorder-derived cells have been uncovered by researchers at the Salk Institute. They compared stem cells created from individuals […]
The hormone ghrelin makes us more susceptible to appealing food smells, a phenomenon that encourages overeating and obesity, according to new research. Earlier work by Alain Dagher’s lab at the […]
A biomarker for multiple sclerosis that could be an early warning for the disease has shown promise in both human and animal testing. Researchers at Purdue University and the Indiana […]
A whole-genome sequencing study of nearly 2,000 families has implicated mutations in promoter regions of the genome – regions that precede the start of a gene – in autism spectrum […]
A UCLA-led research team has pinpointed genetic processes involved in the neurodegeneration that occurs in dementia. This represents an important step on the path toward developing therapies that could slow […]
Stimulation of a brain region called the lateral orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) reliably produced acute improvement in mood in epilepsy patients who suffered from depression, a new study has found. The […]
