Brain tumours are one of the most formidable challenges in modern medicine: they are difficult to diagnose and expensive to treat, with the best predictor of outcome still being early diagnosis.
A Wayne State University professor has been selected as an Early Career Policy Ambassador (ECPA) by the Society for Neuroscience (SfN). Those chosen will engage in various advocacy initiatives in partnership with SfN.
Nitrous oxide鈥攂etter known as "laughing gas"鈥攃an potentially transform treatment for tough-to-beat depression. This centuries-old anesthetic gas targeted specific brain cells in mice and quickly reduced symptoms, according to new research from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, reported today in Nature Communications.
Cadwell Industries, Inc., a global leader in neurodiagnostic, neuromonitoring and sleep solutions, launched its latest Sierra鈩� software release providing patent-pending, fully-synchronized electromyography (EMG) and ultrasound to support enhanced clinical insights and a streamlined workflow.
There are over six million Americans with heart failure who are at greater risk of losing their cognitive abilities earlier in life, a study suggests. Global cognition and executive functioning declined more rapidly over the years after heart failure diagnosis, as people with the condition mentally aged the equivalent of 10 years within just seven years of a heart failure diagnosis.
Nobel Laureate James Rothman, PhD; Holly A. Ingraham, PhD, FASEB鈥檚 2024 Lifetime Achievement awardee; and George A. Brooks, PhD, FAPS, the American Physiological Society鈥檚 (APS) 2025 Walter Cannon Award recipient, are among the highlighted speakers who will attend the American Physiology Summit. The Summit, APS鈥� flagship annual meeting, will be held April 24鈥�27 in Baltimore.
New study helps explain the mechanisms by which nitrous oxide affects the brain, potentially offering insights that could help relieve treatment-resistant depression.
Mayo Clinic is taking epilepsy research in a bold new direction, exploring treatment approaches to help patients living with the most severe and difficult-to-treat forms of epilepsy. About 50 million people worldwide are impacted by epilepsy. Approximately 30% of patients, or about 15 million people, suffer with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE).
The American Association of Neurological Surgeons (AANS) invites members of the media to attend the 2025 AANS Annual Scientific Meeting, taking place April 25鈥�28, 2025, in Boston.
Researchers Reveal Key Brain Differences to Explain Why Ritalin Helps Improve Focus in Some More Than Others
One of the latest neuromodulation therapies available at UTSW鈥檚 Peter O鈥橠onnell Jr. Brain Institute is transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). This therapy uses external magnets and coils to depolarize affected neurons, 鈥渞esetting鈥� the connected networks to restore normal function.
A multidisciplinary team of UT Southwestern Medical Center specialists, led by Nader Pouratian, M.D., Ph.D., and Peter Tsai, M.D., Ph.D., has received a grant worth up to $5 million from the Raynor Cerebellum Project to develop neuromodulation therapies for patients with cerebellar disorders of the brain.
A new study looks at differences in music listening habits between young adults with ADHD and their neurotypical peers.
Cervical artery dissection is a tear in an artery in the neck that provides blood flow to the brain. Such a tear can result in blood clots that cause stroke. A new study has found almost a five-fold increase in the number of U.S. hospitalizations for cervical artery dissection over a 15-year period. The study is published on April 2, 2025, online in Neurology庐, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN).

Researchers have introduced improved cognitive tests to assess dementia in older Africans, part of the HAALSI-HCAP study in rural South Africa. These tools, tailored for local contexts, enhance global ageing research and could inform a national survey. With dementia rates rising, findings will aid prevention and policy.
