Researchers show that the chain reaction of Alzheimer's starts much earlier in mice than commonly assumed.

A new study from researchers at the University of Chicago has found that neuronal population dynamics in the motor cortex are very different during reaching and grasping behavior. This finding challenges a popular theory that indicated intrinsic, dynamic patterns control motor behaviors.

Monitoring how patients with multiple sclerosis or other degenerative diseases use their smartphones could provide valuable information to help get them better treatment.

A study has identified certain regions in the retina that are more affected by Alzheimer's disease than in other areas.

New research sheds light on why people with obstructive sleep apnea may have associated autoimmune disorders. The results could lead to better approaches to treatment and possibly new drug therapies.
