Scientists have demonstrated in mouse studies that specially designed probiotics can reduce brain inflammation associated with diseases like multiple sclerosis. The study points to new potential therapies for hard-to-treat chronic conditions that may b… Continue reading Probiotic shows promise as multiple sclerosis therapy in mice tests
A new study has identified a key metabolic pathway that is abnormally activated in people with brain fog, a common symptom of long COVID. The discovery opens the door to developing a way of diagnosing, monitoring and treating people with the condition….

Platelets are best known for stopping bleeding by clumping together to produce blood clots. But researchers have discovered they have an unexpected ability: they produce a biochemical that has been found to rejuvenate the brains of aged mice, similar t… Continue reading Platelets produce same positive effect as exercise in the aged brain
Normally, staying awake for extended time periods leads to the need for extra sleep. But researchers have just found that activating astrocyte cells in mice caused the rodents to stay awake for six hours longer than usual, with no noticeable sleep debt… Continue reading Mice sleep 6 hours less via brain cell tweak, feel alert next day
A first-in-human trial has found that pairing physical therapy with deep brain stimulation to encourage post-stroke rehabilitation is a safe and feasible treatment, even years after the stroke. The researchers say their technique offers hope to stroke … Continue reading Deep brain stimulation found to assist rehab following stroke
While fans of “Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)” may be horrified with the results, science on the way to recreating music through brain activity. And it has the potential for incredibly broad applications.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Unive… Continue reading Scientists recreate Pink Floyd classic using only people’s brains
Researchers have mapped the brain volumes of people with common mental illnesses and found that despite individual differences between people with the same diagnosis, common, connected brain areas are affected. The findings may be useful for developing… Continue reading Brain maps reveal big differences (and similarities) in mental illnesses
While completing a task with other distractions can seem like it’s a battle of willpower, scientists have discovered how it’s not you but your brain that keeps you on the right track. Or at least it tries to.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTa… Continue reading Staying focused is not down to willpower, but some tiny neurons
