Earlier this year, Witten Daniel was rushed to the hospital, where his condition worsened within a few hours after being admitted, and he was unable to walk, talk, or even breathe without support. Casey Daniel's desperate cry for help led to Dr Jacques Morcos, a neurosurgeon, who told her that her 6-year-old boy was suffering from a cavernoma.
A groundbreaking study from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet reveals that the human brain continues to grow new neurons even after the age of 60. This discovery challenges old beliefs and opens doors for potential treatments for memory-related disorders like Alzheimer's and depression.
The study, published in Cell, sheds light on the cellular and molecular similarities between amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
Understanding the neural basis of motivation holds immense potential for addressing psychiatric conditions characterized by motivational deficits.
The findings offer a promising target for addressing stress-related sleep disorders.
According to researchers, it is essential to know what the brain's building blocks are. Only then can they move forward in RNA sequencing.
According to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, removing new neurons that have developed after a brain injury, can reduce seizures in newborns.
As a recent study found out a new possible risk factor for the development of motor neuron diseases, here we tell you about yoga poses that will help you stimulate your nervous system and prevent motor neuron diseases.
The findings suggest that a single round of exercise activates POMC neurons but deactivate the appetite-boosting NPY/AgRP neurons. The study conducted on mice revealed that exercise in increased amount is not required to alter the activity of these neurons.
A single workout session consisting of three 20-minute treadmill runs could activate neurons that are important regulators of blood glucose levels and energy balance as well as influence metabolism for up to two days, says a study over mice.
Scientists have finally found a reason why people lose brain cells as they age.
Researchers reproduced the effects of traumatic brain injury in a petri dish and successfully stimulated the recovery in neuron cells.
We should understand that there is a gap between experience and memory, our experiences are fleeting, but it takes hours to form a long-term memory.
Turns out, nitric oxide gas produced by a type of harmful bacteria lets roundworms know to stay away from it.
Ankrd16 gene can prevent faulty proteins from causing neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
A particular subset of neurons plays a central role in regulating appetite and body weight, a new study suggests.
Your brain has the ability to anticipate new situations it might encounter in a lifetime by creating a different neural network, find researchers.
This discovery can help researchers make drugs specifically for N3A, a protein found in abundance in people with schizophrenia.
Paving the way for new depression treatments, researchers have discovered the first-ever connection between vulnerability to depression and a type of brain cells called noradrenergic neurons.
Keep your brain fit with these 10 interesting and simple ways (Slide Show)
Researchers have converted human cells into appetite controlling neurons which they think might eventually provide cure to obesity.
How your brain signals your body to burn fat faster
Discovered -- new type of brain cells with different signalling pattern
One dose of antidepressants enough to change connections in the brain
