A comprehensive meta-analysis of 17 studies across 11 countries over 44 years has resoundingly supported the growing evidence that sharing your childhood home with a cat is connected to a significant increase in risk of developing schizophrenia.Continu… Continue reading Purr-fect storm: House cats linked to 2x risk of schizophrenia
Effective targeted treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS) and even the repair of damaged nerves caused by the disease could soon be within grasp, thanks to yet another breakthrough in the field of small molecule drug research.Continue ReadingCategory: Me… Continue reading MS drug to treat and repair nerve damage is edging closer to reality
Scientists have identified odd clusters of a specific protein in the brains of people with early-onset dementia, pointing to a potential cause, a diagnostic tool and, ultimately, a therapy target for a disease that’s been largely a mystery to researchers.

Joining the likes of killer whales (Orcinus orca) and bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), plus a number of primates, a common dark-furred mouse has passed what’s known as the mirror test, backed up by gene mapping, that suggests it may possess we… Continue reading Mouse passes mirror test, joining elite club of ‘self-aware’ animals
For the first time, dopamine regulation has been mapped in real time, deep inside the brains of three humans, revealing how the brain neurotransmitter plays an essential role in not just recognizing rewards but learning from mistakes.

Most of us have woken up with an aching back after a night of tossing and turning, only for that pain to then keep us awake the next night. Now, Harvard scientists have discovered a potential link between pain and poor sleep, and maybe even a way to br… Continue reading Harvard scientists identify link between pain and poor sleep

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a debilitating disease with few treatment options. But in a new clinical trial, scientists have tested a promising new therapy involving injections of stem cells, which seems to slow progression of the disease.Continue Readin… Continue reading Stem cell injections help slow progression of MS in clinical trial
Scientists at Johns Hopkins have developed a new spinal stimulator that can help restore lower limb function to paralyzed patients. The tiny device can be non-invasively implanted through a syringe.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Spinal… Continue reading Nanoscale spinal implant helps restore mobility in paralyzed limbs
New research to be presented at the Radiological Society of North America’s annual meeting is the first to reveal microstructural brain changes in long COVID patients compared to fully recovered patients and uninfected subjects. The findings indicate l… Continue reading Structural brain changes detected in novel long COVID imaging study
