Researchers have developed a novel microscopy imaging technique to assess damaged myelin across large areas of brain tissue, ...

The breakdown of myelin, the insulating layer around brain cells that supports brain function, is prevalent in a range of ...

Talk about using your head. In a recent — though yet-to-be-peer-reviewed — paper, scientists posit that marathon runners’ bodies might turn to brain tissue as a mid-race energy source, gobbling down ...

Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience (NIN) have discovered new potential therapeutic targets for multiple sclerosis (MS). While current treatments prevent further damage, the ...

Alzheimer’s disease damages myelin, but exactly what it does to this insulating material remains somewhat mysterious. In the June 13 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Jaime Grutzendler at Yale ...

Share on Pinterest Scientists are testing a drug that may offer hope for reversing nerve damage in MS. MANICO/Getty Images Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the nervous system that can ...

Ten years of work, and a little help from the green mamba snake, has resulted in a promising new drug that is already being tested in clinical trials. Multiple sclerosis (MS) degrades the protective ...

CIDP causes muscle weakness and numbness, among other symptoms. Diagnosing CIDP involves peripheral nervous system testing, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and imaging. CIDP is an immune-mediated ...

For the past 30 years, scientists have investigated whether the human brain might require quantum processes to achieve cognition. A study from Shanghai University uses mathematical models to suggest ...
