A case study led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital has indicated that unresponsive patients with COVID-19 may have a better chance of recovery than expected.

A new study has explored the role that the brain's immune cells, microglia, have in helping synapses form. These cells chomp away at the matrix proteins blocking synapses' paths, making a space for neurons to find one another.

A team of researchers has reported that a new vitamin K-based drug has proved effective in mouse models of medication-resistant seizures.

A group of researchers have refined the use of deep brain stimulation in the treatment of obsessive-compulsive disorder. By accurately localizing electrode placement in the brains of patients, the researchers were able to identify a fiber tract which is associated with the best clinical outcomes following stimulation.

Researchers have developed an algorithm that can predict whether trauma survivors are likely to develop PTSD, which could allow clinicians to intervene early to mitigate its effects.

A team has discovered a new class of drugs, capable of relieving pain and reducing fever without the danger of addiction or damage to the liver or kidneys.

New research suggests that nitrous oxide, also known as laughing gas, may prove effective as a treatment for veterans suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

New research has indicated that altered brain connectivity between sensory and cognitive processing areas may be responsible for auditory hallucinations.

New tools could improve the ability of a brain imaging technique to identify the signs of disorders such as schizophrenia. The team's findings can assist in diagnosis and treatment of patients with mental illnesses that can be difficult to identify.

Neurobiologists have succeeded for the first time in directly correlating oxygen consumption with the activity of certain nerve cells.
