Cambridge researchers created miniature brain-and-spinal-cord systems in the lab that can send signals and even trigger tiny muscle contractions. They discovered that human neurons gradually lose their ability to regrow after damage during ...

CBD may be doing far more than just easing pain or anxiety -- new research suggests it could help fight Alzheimer's disease by calming the brain's runaway immune response. In experiments using Alzheimer's mice, scientists found that inhaled CBD ...

Researchers are developing a futuristic alternative to LASIK that reshapes the eye without lasers or incisions. Using mild electrical pulses and platinum contact lenses, they temporarily soften the cornea so it can be molded into a new shape. Early . ...

For more than a century, pianists and music teachers have argued over whether a performer's touch can actually change the tone color of a piano note -- and now scientists say the answer is yes. Using a cutting-edge sensor system that tracked piano .. ...

A newly identified protein called GPNMB may play a major role in helping Parkinson's disease spread through the brain. Researchers discovered that immune cells release the protein in response to damaged neurons, creating a vicious cycle that speeds . ...

A new brain imaging study has found no evidence of widespread brain inflammation in patients suffering from prolonged symptoms after COVID-19 infection. Instead, the most severe long COVID symptoms were associated with increased brain activity in ...

A surprising new approach to depression treatment is showing early promise -- not by targeting brain chemicals, but by calming the immune system. In a small clinical trial, researchers found that an anti-inflammatory drug normally used for rheumatoid ...

When the body runs low on protein, the gut sends powerful signals to the brain that reshape cravings and push animals to seek essential amino acids instead of sugar. Researchers say this newly discovered gut-brain network could transform our ...

Scientists at UC San Diego have unveiled a potentially game-changing treatment for MASH, a severe fatty liver disease affecting millions worldwide. The experimental drug, ION224, blocks a liver enzyme that drives fat buildup and inflammation, two key ...

A drug combo widely explored for anti-aging may actually damage the brain, according to new mouse research showing severe loss of myelin and changes linked to "chemo brain." Surprisingly, the damaged cells resembled those seen in multiple sclerosis, ...
