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.

Long-term users of ecstasy risk structural brain damage
Long term users of the popular recreational drug ecstasy (MDMA) risk structural brain damage, suggests preliminary research published online in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. View More (2011-04-07)
Study in mice suggests molecules in plants have beneficial effect on Alzheimer's disease
A set of molecules found in certain plants appears to have a beneficial effect in brain tissue associated with Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study conducted in mice. The study was led by researchers at the University of South Florida and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. An article in the Journal of Cellular and Molecular Medicine is available online.

Bold Three-Stage Brain Operation for Intractable Seizures Appears Promising
Sadly, none of the treatments for epilepsy-anti-seizure medications, a procedure called vagus nerve stimulation, a special diet -could quell the electrical storms in the young boy's brain. View More (2006-05-08)
Depression and anxiety improve after epilepsy surgery
Depression and anxiety are common problems for people whose epilepsy cannot be controlled by medication. A new study found that depression and anxiety improve significantly after epilepsy surgery. View More (2005-12-13)
Neurosurgical treatment of anxiety disorders effective - but risky
Severely ill patients with anxiety disorders or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder undergoing neurosurgical treatment risk serious complications. The safety of the method must be carefully reconsidered. This according to the largest study made to date on the long-term effects of this surgical method. View More (2006-07-19)
Broad-based group of physicians calls for improvement in stroke treatment
A coalition of physicians representing a wide range of medical specialties has issued a call to action to improve the treatment of stroke. View More (2007-08-21)
Barrow study identifies new way to biopsy brain tumors in real time
A new miniature, hand-held microscope may allow more precise removal of brain tumors and an easier recognition of tumor locations during surgery. View More (2009-11-12)
Migraine associated with anxiety and neurosis
A history of anxiety symptoms predicts migraine in adulthood, suggests research in the Journal of Neurology Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. And childhood neck and back injuries almost double the risk of tension headaches in adulthood, the research shows. View More (2001-12-17)
Cedars-Sinai 'nano-drug' hits brain-tumor target found in 2001
Nine years ago, scientists at Cedars-Sinai's Maxine Dunitz Neurosurgical Institute detected a subtle shift occurring in the molecular makeup of the most aggressive type of brain tumors, glioblastoma multiforme. View More (2010-11-05)
USF study finds immediate skull reconstruction after traumatic brain injury worsens brain damage
Immediate skull reconstruction following trauma that penetrates or creates an indentation in the skull can aggravate brain damage inflicted by the initial injury, a study by a University of South Florida research team reports. View More (2012-03-22)
Abnormal neural activity recorded from the deep in the brain of Parkinson's disease and dystonia patients
Movement disorders such as Parkinson's diseases and dystonia are caused by abnormal neural activity of the basal ganglia located deep in the brain. View More (2011-03-10)
Neuroprotective dietary supplements for chronic spinal cord injury
Researchers from the Department of Neurosurgery at the David Geffen School of Medicine and the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology at UCLA have found that a diet enriched with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid, and curcumin, a component of the Indian spice turmeric, can protect the injured spinal cord and minimize the clinical and biochemical effects of spinal cord...

New tool to help brain surgeons one step closer to operating room
A new tool that could allow for faster, more comprehensive testing of brain tissue during surgery successfully identified the cancer type, grade and tumor margins in five brain surgery patients, according to a Purdue University and Brigham and Women's Hospital study. View More (2013-01-11)
The sweet spot? UF doctors test targets for Parkinson surgery
Doctors may be able to tailor a specialized form of brain surgery to more closely match the needs of Parkinson patients, according to results from the first large-scale effort to compare the two current target areas of deep brain stimulation surgery, or DBS. View More (2009-03-16)
Copper damages protein that defends against Alzheimer's
Copper can damage a molecule that escorts out of the brain a substance called amyloid beta that builds up in toxic quantities in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. View More (2007-11-07)
High polyunsaturated fat and vitamin E intake may halve motor neurone disease risk

Miniature robot for precise positioning and targeting in neurosurgery wins award for HU researcher
While recent advances in neurosurgery have made it possible to precisely target areas in the brain with minimum invasiveness -- using a small hole to insert a probe, needle or catheter -- there remains a disadvantage. View More (2007-06-06)
Roots of epilepsy may lie in oft-ignored brain cells
Star-shaped brain cells that are often overlooked by doctors and scientists as mere support cells appear to play a key role in the development of epilepsy. View More (2005-08-15)
