Barrow researchers identify a new approach to detect the early progression of brain tumors
Researchers at Barrow Neurological Institute at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center recently participated in a pilot study with the Montreal Neurological Institute that suggests a certain type of MRI scanning can detect when a patient is failing brain tumor treatment before symptoms appear. view more (2008-08-29)
Jury still out over risks of heading a soccer ball
Heading the ball in soccer is unlikely to cause brain injury but head to head collisions might, says a leading sports physician in this week’s BMJ. view more (2003-08-12)
Dysfunctional protein dynamics behind neurological disease?
Researchers at Lund University, Sweden, have taken a snapshot of proteins changing shape, sticking together and creating structures that are believed to trigger deadly processes in the nervous system. view more (2009-10-14)
Scientists identify new strategy for preventing acute and chronic brain disease
Scientists at the Gladstone Institute of Neurological Disease (GIND) have discovered that reducing levels of the protein tau can prevent seizures and neurological deficits related to Alzheimer's disease. view more (2007-05-04)
May: Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month -- latest research is good news
May is Multiple Sclerosis Month and there is no better way of raising awareness for this unpredictable and often debilitating disease then by highlighting the latest research that might offer hope for the 55 to 75, 000 sufferers across Canada. view more (2007-05-03)
Family study bolsters link between pesticides and Parkinson's
For the first time, the association between Parkinson's disease and exposure to pesticides has been shown in patients with the neurological disorder compared with their unaffected relatives, according to a study in the online open access journal BMC Neurology. view more (2008-03-28)
Some types of temporary neurological problems associated with increased risk for stroke, dementia
Patients who experience symptoms described as transient neurological attacks, such as temporary amnesia or confusion, may have a higher risk for stroke and dementia. view more (2007-12-26)
Scientific advance establishes ‘proof of principle’ that prion diseases might be prevented using monoclonal antibody technology
UK scientists have made a major scientific advance by establishing proof of principle that the development of prion disease can be prevented in mice using monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). The work lays the foundation for further research to explore the potential of mAbs to treat specific prion diseases such as CJD and vCJD. The work is published... view more... (2003-03-03)
Harvard scientists identify compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain
cientists at Harvard University have identified key compounds that stimulate stem cell growth in the brain, which may one day lead to restored function for people affected by Parkinson's disease, strokes, multiple sclerosis, and a wide range of neurological disorders. view more (2006-09-01)
Widely used cholesterol-lowering drug may prevent progression
Simvastatin, a commonly used, cholesterol-lowering drug, may prevent Parkinson's disease from progressing further. Neurological researchers at Rush University Medical Center conducted a study examining the use of the FDA-approved medication in mice with Parkinson's disease and found that the drug successfully reverses the biochemical, cellular and... view more...

New-generation Antipsychotic Drugs May Have Similar Neurological Side-effects To Conventional Drugs (p 1581)
Authors of a systematic review of antipsychotic drugs in this week's issue of THE LANCET highlight how the better side-effect profile of new-generation drugs may not be as substantial as previously thought when compared with conventional antipsychotics. New-generation drugs are generally more efficacious, although older-generation antipsychotics... view more... (2003-05-07)
A New Method For Assessing Neurological Development Of Fetuses? (p 779)
A preliminary study in this week's issue of THE LANCET outlines how light-emitting technology could help in the future assessment of fetal neurological development. There have been only a few studies of visual-evoked response in human fetuses, and all have focused on general changes such as heart rate, body movements, and eye movements. Curtis... view more...

Blue-Green Algal Links to Alzheimer's-Like Neurological Disease
An international team of researchers, including scientists from the University of Dundee have announced that cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) found throughout the world may produce a toxin linked to certain types of neurological disease. view more (2005-04-05)

Researchers find differences in swallowing mechanism of Rett syndrome patients
Researchers at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center have found that the reflux and swallowing problems that are common symptoms in patients with Rett syndrome and other neurological impairments, may be caused by a different mechanism than they are in healthy individuals. view more (2008-08-05)

Key heart and Alzheimer's disease protein imaged for first time in native state
Researchers for the first time have created a three-dimensional image of apolipoprotein E, a protein long associated with cardiovascular disease and more recently with Alzheimer's disease, as it appears when it is bound to fat-like substances known as lipids. view more (2006-01-16)
Brain-damage Threat From Invasive Assessment Of Heart-valve Stenosis (p 1241)
Authors of a study in this week's issue of THE LANCET warn against the widespread use of catheterisation to assess the extent of aortic-valve stenosis--this invasive procedure could increase the risk of cerebral blood clotting and brain damage. The severity of valvular aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the valve between the left ventricle of the... view more... (2003-04-09)
University of Iowa scientists use blood-brain barrier as therapy delivery system
The blood brain barrier is generally considered an obstacle to delivering therapies from the bloodstream to the brain. However, University of Iowa researchers have discovered a way to turn the blood vessels surrounding brain cells into a production and delivery system for getting therapeutic molecules directly into brain cells. view more (2009-09-22)
Neurological differences support dyslexia subtypes
Parts of the right hemisphere of the brains of people with dyslexia have been shown to differ from those of normal readers. view more (2009-06-25)
