Mayo Clinic researchers find hole in heart does not make stroke inevitable
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that - contrary to current thinking by some in the medical community - a patent foramen ovale (PFO), a small hole between the two upper chambers of the heart, does not predestine an individual to a stroke later in life. view more (2005-12-12)
Scientists use gene transfer technology and common virus to block neuropathic pain
Remember how it felt the last time you burned your finger on a hot stove? Imagine what it's like to have that burning pain in your hands or feet all the time and know there's virtually nothing you can do about it. view more (2005-06-01)

Damage from oxygen may be one cause of Parkinson's disease
Research by neuroscientists at the University of Virginia Health System shows that oxygen free radicals are damaging proteins in mitochondria, the tiny cellular 'batteries' of brain cells. view more (2006-05-17)
Discovery of new gene for rare nerve disease may help doctors understand more common illnesses
A multi-national research team that includes a Saint Louis University neurologist has discovered a gene mutation that causes a rare form of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, an inherited progressive nerve disorder. view more (2006-01-31)
For some, aspirin doesn't increase risk of recurring hemorrhagic stroke
Aspirin is typically prescribed for people at risk of having an ischemic stroke to prevent blood clots. Because aspirin may cause bleeding, it is typically avoided in people who have had a hemorrhagic stroke, also called intracerebral hemorrhage. view more (2006-01-24)

Variants in three estrogen-related genes linked to Parkinson's disease in women
Mayo Clinic researchers have discovered a possible connection between increased risk for Parkinson's disease and variants in three genes that control estrogen production and activity in the body. view more (2006-04-05)
REM sleep behavior disorder found to be precursor of brain-degenerating diseases later in life
Mayo Clinic sleep medicine specialists have found that almost two-thirds of patients with REM sleep behavior disorder (RBD) develop degenerative brain diseases by approximately 11 years after diagnosis of RBD. view more (2006-06-19)
Two copies of G2019S Parkinson's gene mutation doesn't lead to more severe disease
A group of Parkinson's disease researchers concluded there are no observable differences between those who have two copies of the most common mutation of the recently discovered LRRK2 gene and those who have only one copy. view more (2006-09-12)
Neurologists with expertise in brain stimulation therapy help Parkinson's patients
Patients with Parkinson's disease who are undergoing a treatment known as deep brain stimulation may benefit from the direct involvement of a neurologist with expertise both in movement disorders and in deep brain stimulation. view more (2006-07-11)
Mice models developed at UCSD to benefit patients with multiple system atrophy
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine have developed a series of transgenic mouse models of multiple system atrophy, a progressive, fatal neurological disorder. view more (2005-11-17)
Parkinson disease can lead to errors on driving test
People with Parkinson disease were more likely to make more safety mistakes during a driving test than people with no neurological disorders, according to a study published in the November 28, 2006, issue of Neurology, the scientific journal of the American Academy of Neurology. view more (2006-11-28)
Mayo Clinic study finds weight loss precedes dementia diagnosis in women
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that women who develop dementia experience a decline in weight as many as 10 years prior to the onset of memory loss, compared to peers who do not develop dementia. view more (2006-07-17)
Study offers window into human behavior, brain disease
UCSF scientists have identified a cell population that is a primary target of the degenerative brain disease known as frontotemporal dementia, which is as common as Alzheimer's disease in patients who develop dementia before age 65. view more (2006-12-26)
Ovary removal surgery elevates risk for dementia
Mayo Clinic researchers have found that ovariectomy, surgical removal of a woman's ovaries, raises her risk of developing dementia or cognitive impairment. Risk is especially increased if a woman has her ovaries removed at a young age. view more (2006-04-06)
Drug monitoring reduces seizures in pregnant women with epilepsy
A popular epilepsy drug taken by pregnant women with epilepsy because of its mild risk of birth defects has been linked to increased seizure activity in up to 75 percent of pregnancies. view more (2007-11-29)
