Researchers reporting in ACS Omega have developed a portable, artificially intelligent olfactory system, or “e-nose,” that could someday diagnose the disease in a doctor’s office.

Researchers have developed a deep learning framework based on convolutional neural networks to flag clinically relevant abnormalities at the time of imaging in head MRI scans.

Parkinson’s disease may be driven in part by cell stress-related biochemical events that disrupt a key cellular cleanup system, leading to the spread of harmful protein aggregates in the brain, according to a new study from scientists at Scripps Research.

Researchers from SMU (Southern Methodist University) have determined that a gene linked to feeling touch may moonlight as an olfactory gene. That’s the conclusion drawn from studying a very small, transparent worm that shares many similarities with the human nervous system.

New research has revealed several aspects of how neurons communicate with each other in the brain that were previously unknown.

MIT neuroscientists have identified a population of neurons in the human brain that respond to singing but not other types of music.

Research has shown the potential to zero in on the root-level cause of a host of adverse symptoms associated with unique subtypes of neurodevelopmental disorders.

A new study depicts the early development of pain-sensing and movement-sensing neurons in the face and throat. The findings reveal a previously unexplored feature of brain and cranial nerve development underlying eating, swallowing, and speech.

A blood test developed at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis has proven highly accurate in detecting early signs of Alzheimer’s disease in a study involving nearly 500 patients from across three continents.

A new study shows that artificial neurons, fabricated from organic components, can be integrated with biological systems – in this case the Venus Flytrap – and send signals that can be interpreted by the natural system.
