Brain shrinkage associated with Alzheimer’s therapies shows effectiveness rather than harm

A loss of brain volume associated with new immunotherapies for Alzheimer’s disease may be caused by the removal of amyloid plaques, rather than the loss of neurons or brain tissue,

Firing nerve fibers in the brain are supplied with energy on demand

Brain function depends on the swift movement of electrical signals along axons, the long extensions of nerve cells that connect billions of brain cells. The nerve fibers are insulated by

Brain-repair discovery could lead to new epilepsy treatments

University of Virginia School of Medicine researchers have discovered a previously unknown repair process in the brain that they hope could be harnessed and enhanced to treat seizure-related brain injuries.
