People with epilepsy have an increased risk of early death based on various factors

A new study has found that people with epilepsy have an increased risk of early death and the increased risk varies depending on where they live, the number of medications they take and what other diseases they may have.

What is the effect of maternal obesity on the brain development of offspring?

Recently, scientists reviewed the mechanisms associated with the maternal microbiome, breast milk composition, maternal and placental metabolites, altered maternal care, and inflammation, which influences the brain development of the offspring.

The brain declines later than previously thought, research shows

Recent research from University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) shows that our brain declines later than previously thought. Instead of after our 25th year of life, it happens when we are between the ages of 30 and 40.

Sleep disorders contribute to cognitive dysfunction in women with multiple sclerosis

For women with multiple sclerosis who report cognitive dysfunction -; one of the most common and disabling symptoms of the disease -; sleep disorders such as insomnia and sleep apnea may contribute to the perceived decline, a Michigan Medicine study suggests.

Investigating how gut microbiota affect neuroplasticity and neurodevelopment

In a recent study published in the journal Neuropharmacology, researchers in Pisa, Italy, explored how gut microbiota can influence neuroplasticity.

What role does dysbiosis play in Parkinson's disease?

The current study, published in the journal Revue Neurologique, is based on the hypothesis that dysbiosis, or unhealthy variations in the gut and oral microbiota, is a key component of PD pathogenesis.

Gut microbiomes and mental health: how do they interact?

A new study published in the journal Frontiers in Medicine reviewed recent literature on the link between gut microbiota, the brain, and neurological disorders.

Multivariate brain-wide associated studies can be replicable with substantially smaller sample sizes

Since the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging in the 1990s, the reliance on neuroimaging has skyrocketed as researchers investigate how fMRI data from the brain at rest, and anatomical brain structure itself, can be used to predict individual traits, such as depression, cognitive decline, and brain disorders.

An overview of COVID-19-associated neurological complications in children

Researchers review current literature to understand the association between COVID-19, neuroimaging, and neurological symptoms in children.

Study identifies link between oral and gut microbiomes and depression

Researchers investigate the role of the oral-gut-brain axis in anxiety and depression.

Long-acting GIPRA inhibits feeding and lowers body weight in mice with diet-induced obesity

The hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is considered obesogenic. In contrast, GIP receptor agonists (GIPRAs) have shown reduced feeding and body weight in an obese mouse model. Therefore, the precise effects exerted by GIP and GIPRAs remain elusive.

Hypothalamic inflammation and obesity, study suggests a pathological mechanism

In a recent review published in the European Journal of Endocrinology, researchers discussed current research on the relationship between human obesity and inflammation of the hypothalamus.

Study reveals the shared genetic basis for endometriosis and other pain conditions

University of Queensland researchers have contributed to the largest ever genetic study of endometriosis, finding new data about the variants that increase risk of the disease.

New tool allows researchers to perform genetic screens of cell-cell interactions

Inflammatory neurological diseases, such as multiple sclerosis (MS), can arise when cell-to-cell communication between cells in the central nervous system (CNS) goes awry.

Abnormally low autoantibody activity significantly associated with autism severity

A recent study hypothesized a dysfunction of the self-recognition properties of the immune system in autism.

How gut microbiota control feelings of fullness after eating

A recent study discusses recent findings linking satiety to the gut microbiome.

Study finds two substances capable of inhibiting proliferation of glioblastoma cells

Glioblastoma is a malignant tumor of the central nervous system (brain or spinal cord) and one of the deadliest types of cancer.

Researchers investigate the potential effect of folic acid supplementation on DNA mutation rates

It is well established that folic acid supplementation can significantly reduce the risk of birth defects, including neural tube defects like spina bifida, the most common birth defect of the central nervous system and the second most common of all structural birth defects.

Analysis provides new insights into complex effects of Alzheimer’s disease on the retina

Cedars-Sinai investigators have produced the most extensive analysis to date of changes in the retina-;a layer of tissue at the back of the eye where visual information originates-;and how those retinal changes correspond to brain and cognitive changes in Alzheimer's disease patients.

Researchers develop a potential treatment for autoimmune encephalitis

In autoimmune encephalitis, a rare but serious and sometimes life-threatening inflammation of the central nervous system, the body's own defenses are directed against the central nervous system.
