Word choice matters—a lot— when it comes to research. That's the conclusion of a new study that analyzed HIV-related stigmatizing language published in scientific literature from 2010 to 2020.

Tracking the blood vessels in the retina as part of a routine eye exam could enable early detection of neurodegenerative diseases including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.

Researchers at The University of Texas at El Paso have successfully mapped specific regions in the brain that are activated in association with changes in blood sugar.

A collaborative research community is bringing together computer scientists and neuroscientists to construct accurate brain maps from brain scans, with the help of AI.

A new study has revealed that the brain's essential component, the 19s regulatory particle, has an independent "moonlighting" role at synapses, and thus might offer new opportunities in the diagnosis and treatment of a range of neurological disorders.

A study has shown how a mutation found in the majority of glioblastomas, an aggressive brain cancer, alters lipid metabolism and could open up new avenues for treatment.

A new study shows that a hibernation-like state can be induced in mice using ultrasound waves. The study may have ramifications for how humans approach tasks that require low metabolic activity over long periods of time, such as interstellar space travel.

Combination of readily available treatments improved outcomes – with particular benefit for low – and middle-income countries, where most cases occur.

Aging often is accompanied by cognitive decline. Deficits in cognitive ability are associated with reduced hippocampal volume and degradation of synaptic connectivity between the hippocampus and the (peri)-entorhinal cortex.

Neuroscientists report that they have re-established the communication between the brain and spinal cord with a wireless digital bridge, allowing a paralyzed person to walk again naturally.
