Neurology

– These articles focus mainly on neurology research.
– What is neurology?
– Definition of neurology: a science involved in the study of the nervous systems, especially of the diseases and disorders affecting them.
– Neurology research can include information involving brain research, neurological disorders, medicine, brain cancer, peripheral nervous systems, central nervous systems, nerve damage, brain tumors, seizures, neurosurgery, electrophysiology, BMI, brain injuries, paralysis and spinal cord treatments.

Indications why older people are more susceptible to Alzheimer’s disease

Using a gene vector, researchers channeled the blueprint of the human tau protein into different aged mice. After a period of twelve weeks, the tau protein spread twice as fast in older mice than the younger cohort. Findings shed light on why Alzheimer's is predominantly an age-related neurodegenerative disease.

Aerobic exercise training linked to enhanced brain function

People with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease can benefit significantly from a six-month aerobic training program. Aerobic exercise helps improve brain glucose metabolism and executive function, in addition to increasing cardiorespiratory fitness.

Blocking Overactive Receptor in Alzheimer’s Recovers Memory Loss and More

Researchers show memory pathology in older mice can be reversed by blocking the activity of a specific receptor in the brain. Blocking the B1R receptor helps recover memory and cerebrovascular function.

Discontinued Medical Treatment Linked to Alzheimer’s

Researchers report a link between Alzheimer's disease and a discontinued medical treatment. In a new study, they found five cases of Alzheimer's in individuals treated as children with cadaver-derived human growth hormone (c-hGH), used in the UK from 1959 to 1985.
