Over 57 million people worldwide live with dementia, causing 36.3 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and ranking as ...
The language network in your brain can be seen, even if you aren't saying a word. For a study published in Nature Communications, researchers used data from more than 1,900 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)…
Migraine is a highly prevalent disabling disorder affecting approximately 1 billion people worldwide.1 Its pathophysiology involves activation and sensitisation of the trigeminovascular system, resulting in the release…
Motion sickness is provoked when ambiguity or ‘conflict’ within vestibular signals or within visual-vestibular interactions challenge the constancy of ‘uprightness’ and the interpretation of self-motion versus…
Background Long-term functional and vocational outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain difficult to predict, limiting prognostic counselling and rehabilitation planning. We aimed to evaluate the…
Background Repetitive head impacts in former contact sport athletes are associated with cognitive impairment, accelerated cerebral atrophy and risk of neurodegenerative disease. Epigenetic clocks derived from…
Background Psychiatric comorbidities are increasingly recognised in demyelinating diseases, yet their frequency and timing in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are not well defined…
Background Evidence regarding the clinical course of unruptured giant intracranial aneurysms (GIAs) after conservative management (CON), microsurgical treatment (SURG) or endovascular treatment (EVT) remains limited. We…
Background Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) has high rates of mortality with no proven haemostatic treatment. We conducted the first systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA) to…
Background Information about the incidence of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) is sparse and the effect of increasing MRI availability is uncertain. Our objective was to assess the incidence of symptomatic and…
Background Evidence indicates that B-cell dynamics during ocrelizumab treatment vary among individuals with multiple sclerosis. However, our understanding of B-cell dynamics is incomplete. We aim to characterise temporal…
Background In multiple sclerosis (MS), disability accrual can arise from relapse-associated worsening (RAW) and progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA). While genetic variants associated with increased MS…
Background Ocrelizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD20+ B cells, is a high-efficacy therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Patients with relapse-onset MS treated with ocrelizumab, fingolimod, natalizumab or…
In Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), 81% of patients respond well to at least one of the established first-line therapies: corticosteroids, immunoglobulin or plasma exchange (PLEX).1 2…
A single human brain cell may be far more powerful than scientists once realized. Researchers found that cortical neurons can perform remarkably complex computations, giving them capabilities more like tiny biological…
Over the years, caffeine has attracted attention for its potential brain-protective effects. Now, a decades-long study of more ...
TORONTO, Aug. 13, 2026 /CNW/ -- Heart & Stroke, in partnership with Brain Canada, is proud to announce funding for a third ...
AI has helped scientists measure the brain’s hidden cleaning system, revealing that fluid moves rapidly around its outer spaces but about 50 times more slowly through deep tissue. The discovery could eventually help…
Early detection of hypoglycemia among non-hypoglycemic conditions is critical in type 1 diabetes (T1D), as delayed intervention can lead to serious neurological and metabolic consequences. Although continuous glucose…
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying impaired sustained attention under positive acceleration stress.MethodsWe used a lower body negative pressure model to simulate positive acceleration…
Imagine a future in which a stroke survivor regains movement through an intelligent neural interface. A patient with Parkinson's disease receives highly personalized brain stimulation that adapts in real time to changing…
Estrogen-only hormone therapy later in life was associated with a lower risk of developing the neurodegenerative condition.
Looking inside a newly discovered ancient tomb for the first time is both exciting and terrifying. I was fortunate to experience this recently as director of an international research team carrying out fieldwork in the…
A new study involving 1,200 men reveals why male victims of intimate partner violence avoid seeking help, citing shame, stigma, and cultural barriers.
Taxi and ambulance drivers have the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer's among 443 occupations studied. Continuous real-time ...
Military leaders frequently underestimate how big the wars they engage in will get. Gen. Douglas MacArthur predicted U.S. troops could come home from the Korean War in time for Christmas, just months after the conflict…
Use of hormone therapy later in life was associated with lower risk of developing dementia, according to a study published August ...
Research from scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and collaborators has shed new light on how the human brain coordinates working memory, the process in which the brain encodes…
From dancing to traveling to bi-annual dental visits, experts share the simple habits that can cut your cognitive risk starting in your 20s and 30s.
New research suggests that avoiding high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking in middle age could help keep dementia at bay. A team from NYU Langone Health in the US assessed 12,409 people who were ...
