Very early blood pressure control confers both benefits and harms in acute stroke

Early identification of stroke type could be key to harnessing the benefits of very early in-ambulance blood pressure lowering treatment in patients with suspected acute stroke, according to new research.

‘Trojan horse’ weight loss drug more effective than available therapies

A groundbreaking article describes a promising new therapy for obesity that leads to greater weight loss in mice than existing medications. The approach smuggles molecules into the brain’s appetite center and affects the brain’s neuroplasticity.

Climate change likely to aggravate brain conditions

Climate change, and its effects on weather patterns and adverse weather events, is likely to negatively affect the health of people with brain conditions, argue a team of researchers.

The crystallization of memory: Study reveals how practice forms new memory pathways in the brain

A new study has shown that repetitive practice not only is helpful in improving skills but also leads to profound changes in the brain’s memory pathways.

Research sheds light on how proteins linked to Alzheimer’s disease influence neuronal growth

New research has shed light in the complex interplay between cell proteins, and how they impact on neurons in neurodevelopmental disorders and Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease without symptoms: How is that possible?

Everyone experiences aging in their own way, and factors such as genetics, lifestyle and environment play a role in this process. Some individuals reach the age of 90 or even 100 in good health, without medications or brain disease. But how do these in…

An astrocytic pH regulator that can repair the blood-brain barrier and reverse brain damage caused by ischemic stroke

A recent study has found that an ion transporter protein that regulates the pH of specific brain cells can repair the blood-brain barrier and restore normal brain function after ischemic stroke. The study has revealed novel and specific therapeutic tar…

Artificial intelligence tool detects male-female-related differences in brain structure

Artificial intelligence (AI) computer programs that process MRI results show differences in how the brains of men and women are organized at a cellular level, a new study shows. These variations were spotted in white matter, tissue primarily located in…

Some brain cells age faster and are more prevalent in Alzheimer’s

Engineers have discovered that some brain cells age more rapidly than others, and they are disproportionately abundant in individuals afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease. Additionally, researchers observed male-female-specific differences in the aging p…

Innovative ‘mini-brains’ could revolutionize Alzheimer’s treatment

New research could revolutionize the way Alzheimer’s and other brain-related diseases are diagnosed and treated — by building tiny brains in a petri dish.
