An immune-related gene has now been tied to a rare inherited neurological disorder, revealing an overlooked pathway in the ...

Despite modern high-throughput sequencing, the genetic cause of most rare movement disorders remains unclear. A research team ...

In a recent study published in Nature Neuroscience, a group of researchers explored how the cerebellum directly affects dopamine release in the substantia nigra compacta (SNc). While the cerebellum's ...

Your nerves transmit messages within the brain, as well as among the brain, spinal cord, and the body. In order to do this, they use a combination of electrical and chemical signaling. Motor neurons ...

New genetic research has identified a direct causal chain connecting the microorganisms in the human digestive tract to the risk of developing severe psychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions. The ...

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability, caused by a sudden loss of oxygen supply to the brain due to blocked blood vessels. Recanalization treatments such as intravenous thrombolysis ...
