Kidney disease is often associated with dialysis or transplants, but it also affects memory and concentration, and increases stroke risk.
One of the biggest barriers to diagnoses of brain disorders is that symptoms — particularly those of apathy — can be mistaken for depression, resulting in inappropriate treatment and poorer health.
The world’s largest genetic study on the size of specific brain parts has revealed hundreds of clues about how some health conditions develop.
Deciphering how neurons talk to each other by reading the brain’s electrical activity has given scientists insights into memory and conditions like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.
Seizures are like sudden electrical storms in the brain that can cause lasting damage. A set of immune cells in the brain called microglia may provide protection.
Studies show that smoking marijuana during pregnancy can lead to premature birth, lower birth weight and psychological problems in the newborn.
Although there is no cure for this disorder, there are treatments that can help alleviate symptoms.
No, it’s not like donating a kidney. But it is still a gift.
Deciphering the biological pathways behind rare genetic diseases often involves assembling a team of specialists to work closely with the family members of those affected.
Understanding how brain folding works could help researchers better diagnose and treat neurodevelopmental disorders.
Premature infants are at risk of impaired brain development. Adding creatine to the intravenous solution used to feed them may lower that risk.
Neuroscience labs around the world may need to reevaluate some of their assumptions about whether what works in animals will really produce meaningful treatments for people.
New research has found a link between exposure to air pollutants during pregnancy and abnormalities in children’s brains. But how at risk are we?
According to various large-scale studies conducted by the World Health Organization, about a third of the adult worldwide population suffer from a mental disorder such as depression, anxiety and schizophrenia…
