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.

Scientists first predicted a topological 2D polymer in 2019. Only one year later, an international team was able to synthesize these materials and experimentally prove their topological properties.

Researchers reviewed dozens of studies exploring the relationship between exposure to environmental contaminants, the gut microbiome and human and animal health.

Applying the principles of chaos theory to a microcomb, researchers successfully recorded the broadest microcomb spectral scan.

A new study has confirmed and quantified, for the first time, the presence of microplastics in terrestrial and aquatic birds of prey in Florida, including hawks, ospreys and owls.
