Diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, the most common type of dementia, is not easy due to its symptoms overlapping with normal ageing. New research has developed a new non-invasive molecular imaging approach that may help in identifying Alzheimer's disease at early stages so that treatments can start as soon as possible.

For decades, researchers have proposed developing a device that could restore sight by bypassing damaged eyes and delivering visual information from a camera directly to the brain. A new paper describes an approach in which implanted electrodes are stimulated in a dynamic sequence, essentially "tracing" shapes on the surface of the visual cortex that participants were able to "see."

Scientists have developed a new treatment that could help to dramatically reduce swelling after brain and spinal cord injuries.

Although humans can make eye movement without head movement, for example when reading a book, a new study has deployed miniature video cameras and motion sensors to conclude that mouse eye movements are always linked to head movement.

Even without seeing the messenger, we can pick up each other’s body language, say researchers.

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm that can detect and identify different types of brain injuries.

A new study has identified a set of genes with altered expression in autism.

A study analyzing data from the Rhode Island Consortium for Autism Research and Treatment (RI-CART) found that only 3% of individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder reported having fully received clinical genetic tests recommended by medical professional societies.

Researchers have shown that reprogramming a patient’s own skin cells to replace cells in the brain that are progressively lost during Parkinson’s disease is technically feasible.

New imaging technology has allowed scientists to see the widespread loss of brain synapses in early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.
