The genetic mechanisms underlying the brain's unique left-right differences are now better understood through new research, paving the way for a better understanding of human disorders associated with brain asymmetry.
A new artificial intelligence tool to classify brain tumors faster and more accurately has been developed by researchers at the Australian National University (ANU).
A new study of prion diseases using a human brain organoid model suggests there is a significant species barrier preventing the transmission of chronic wasting disease (CWD) from deer, elk and fallow deer to humans.
The idea that people with autism lack empathy is superficial, and people without autism may find it just as difficult to put themselves in another person's shoes as vice versa, research suggests.
Long-term adherence to a ketogenic diet can cause senescence, or cellular senescence, in normal tissues, with particularly pronounced effects on heart and kidney function.
The use of antioxidants to combat oxidative stress is being actively investigated as a therapeutic strategy in the treatment of systemic sclerosis. However, antioxidant alone may not be sufficiently effective in reducing oxidative stress.
Approximately 30-40% of patients do not respond to medications for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but half of them can benefit from a non-invasive office procedure.
A recent study found that semaglutide—the active ingredient in Ozempic and Wegovy—may help reduce symptoms of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) in people with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
