An international research collaboration led by researchers from the University of Helsinki and Stanford University has identified rare changes in a gene called ANGPTL7 that lower intraocular pressure and significantly reduce the risk of glaucoma.

Using genetic analysis, researchers have found that higher alcohol consumption can increase risks for stroke and peripheral artery disease.

A new test can detect glaucoma progression 18 months earlier than the current gold standard method, according to results from a UCL-sponsored clinical trial.

A recent study suggests that spinocerebellar ataxia 1 (SCA1), a neurodegenerative disorder of the cerebellum, could affect the functioning of the hippocampus, possibly explaining the mysteriously high occurrence of mental health issues in this devastating disease.

Understanding the molecular mechanisms of our internal clocks may enable the development of therapies for sleep disorders and other effects of clock disruption.

Researchers have discovered a neural mechanism common to both speech and sign errors.

Researchers have developed a computer algorithm based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can accurately predict the risk for and diagnose Alzheimer's disease using a combination of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), testing to measure cognitive impairment, along with data on age and gender.

The immune responses of a female mouse before pregnancy can predict how likely her offspring are to have behavioral deficits if the immune system is activated during pregnancy, according to researchers from the Center for Neuroscience at the University of California, Davis

A new study suggests that the ability of the brain to extinguish fearful memories from the brain is reliant upon the flexibility of DNA.
