In vitro studies have uncovered new insights that could help increase the effectiveness of the most common current treatments with the addition of lumefantrine, an FDA-approved drug used to treat malaria.

Researchers have used tissue engineering to grow a complete gut nervous system in a preclinical model.

An NIHR-funded and supported study has found that adding cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to standardised medical care gives patients with dissociative seizures longer periods of seizure freedom, less bothersome seizures and a greater quality of life.

Using new tech to measure blood flow and neuronal recovery simultaneously, researchers have discovered that the former recovers before the latter after a microstroke.

We know a lot about the human brain, but very little about how it is formed. To help address this imbalance, researchers have now developed a model that mimics these early stages of the human brain in the laboratory.

A new study has identified biological markers of ALS present in the teeth of patients who went on to develop the disease as adults.

Scientists have pinpointed the electrophysiological mechanism behind upper motor neuron disease, unlocking the door to potential treatments for many neurodegenerative diseases.

A study using fruit flies has indicated a link between sensory neurons and regulation of the sleep-wake cycle.

Researchers have discovered a way to design an antibody that can identify the toxic particles that destroy healthy brain cells.
