New York: Researchers have developed a device that works like a “pacemaker for the brain” to monitor the brain’s electrical activity and potentially deliver fine-tuned treatments to patients with diseases like epilepsy and Parkinson’s. The device, named WAND, short for wireless artifact-free neuromodulation device, can deliver electrical stimulation if it detects something amiss in the […]
New York: Researchers have discovered a potentially new approach to deliver therapeutics more effectively to the brain. The findings, done on mice, showed that the research could have implications for the treatment of a wide range of diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and brain cancer. “Improving the delivery of drugs to the central nervous system is […]
Seoul: The thinning of retina — the lining of nerve cells in the back of the eye — could be linked to Parkinson’s disease, a finding that can boost diagnoses to detect the disease in its earliest stages, researchers have found. According to the study, the thinning of the retina is linked to the loss […]
Moscow: The number of deaths due to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, stroke and epilepsy has increased by 36.7 per cent worldwide between 1990 and 2015, a study says. In 2015, these diseases comprised of 16.8 per cent of global deaths, according to the report by the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project […]
Just an hour of exercise thrice a week can help people with Parkinson's disease improve their balance and even reduce risk of falling down in people with early stage of the disease, new research says
London: A common gut bacteria that boosts digestive health could slow – and even reverse – the build-up of a protein linked to Parkinson’s, a new study suggests. Building on previous research linking brain function to gut bacteria, this study in a Parkinson’s model of roundworms, identified a probiotic – or so-called good bacteria – […]
