A new pathway that is used by cancer cells to infiltrate the brain has been discovered by a team of Canadian and American research groups led by the Singh Lab at McMaster University. The research also ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Medical University of South Carolina scientists report in Neuron that they have uncovered a way to restore an opioid-weakened brain pathway in a preclinical model. With funding from the National ...

We describe an unusual case of a woman in her 30s who had recently undergone Roux-en-Y gastric bypass and presented to the emergency department with a 6-week history of intractable nausea and vomiting ...

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability, caused by a sudden loss of oxygen supply to the brain due to blocked blood vessels. Recanalization treatments such as intravenous thrombolysis ...

A new study definitively reveals the existence of a system that had been theorized to clear metabolic wastes in the human brain. The study uses imaging in neurosurgery patients to show how brain's ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.

Spinal cord injuries caused by external trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls, often lead to the permanent loss of motor and sensory functions. This is because the spinal cord—the central pathway ...
