Recovering a neuronal network: Stroke affects the brain and entire nervous system, requiring an integrated treatment plan to recover impaired functionality

Medical advances have yet to design a proper treatment and management plan for stroke recovery that is truly effective. It is estimated that while a majority of patients recover from their initial stroke, a massive 60 percent are left with a diminished arm or leg, and another 15 percent are unable to re-enter their normal, […]

The wrong gut bacteria found to cause brain blood vessel LESIONS that lead to strokes and seizures

A recent study published in Nature revealed that intestinal bacteria may alter the brain’s blood vessel structure, which in turn may play a role in the development of malformations that result in stroke or epilepsy. As part of the research, a team of health experts at the University of Pennsylvania examined the probable causes of cerebral cavernous […]

Brain size linked to ecology: Scientists discover it wasn’t a complex social network that grew the prehistoric human brain; it was how far they traveled

Social group size has nothing to do with the evolutionary process that increased the human brain’s size, a new study reveals. The scientific community has previously believed that the expansion of peer-to-peer and social interaction, more commonly known as the social brain hypothesis, may have contributed to the increase in brain size by enabling early humans to move […]

Neuroscientists study neuroplasticity in tadpoles to learn how autism develops

Pollywogs are providing insight related to the development of autism in human children. In a Science Daily article, researchers reported that their study of neuroplasticity in tadpoles has uncovered the potential role played by certain proteins in how some autistic people process the feedback from their senses. Neuroplasticity is the life-long process where the brain […]

Exploring the potential of a member of the forget-me-not family in treating neurodegenerative disorders

A group of researchers from the University of Malakand, Karachi University, and Kohat University of Science and Technology in Pakistan showed that Nonea micrantha Bioss. & Reut is potentially effective against neurodegenerative disorders. The study, which was published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, looked into the anticholinesterase and antioxidant activity of N. micrantha extracts. N. micrantha belongs to the Boraginaceae […]
