Memory Loss from TBI Reversed
Researchers made a breakthrough in understanding memory loss due to repeated head impacts, as often experienced by athletes. Their study reveals that memory issues following head injury in mice are linked to inadequate reactivation of neurons involved in memory formation. This discovery is significant because it demonstrates that the memory loss is not a permanent, […]
Workplace Injuries and Neurological Health: Prevention and Recovery
While no one goes to work hoping to get injured, workplace injuries can still occur. In fact, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, private industry employers reported 2.8 million cases of nonfatal workplace injury and illness. As common as workplace injuries are, there’s one type of injury that tends to go under the radar — brain […]
Navigating the Aftermath of a Car Accident: Neurological Concerns and Care
Over the years, technology has made vehicles a lot safer. While this has helped reduce the number of fatalities, car accidents are still a common occurrence. According to reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the United States, there’s a car accident every 13 minutes. The severity of these accidents varies. However, even the smallest […]
What is Qutenza and How It Helps Treat Nerve Pain
Qutenza patches contain capsaicin. Capsaicin is the active ingredient in chili peppers that makes them hot. Qutenza patches are used to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) in people who have had herpes zoster, or “shingles.” Qutenza patches are also used to treat nerve pain (neuralgia) associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) of the feet.

Neuroscientists Re-create Pink Floyd Song from Listeners’ Brain Activity
Researchers hope brain implants will one day help people who have lost the ability to speak to get their voice back—and maybe even to sing. Now, for the first time, scientists have demonstrated that the brain’s electrical activity can be decoded and used to reconstruct music. A new study analyzed data from 29 people who were already […]
New Brain Scan Study Discovers Possible Biological Basis of Visual Snow Syndrome
Researchers from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London have used a novel approach to show that the patterns of activity in two brain chemical systems—glutamate and serotonin—are different in people with visual snow syndrome compared to those without the condition. Visual snow syndrome is characterized by a continuous visual […]
Brain Imaging Study Suggests That Loss Of Consciousness Is Related To The Malfunctioning Of Two Neural Circuits
A team of scientists recently aimed to better understand consciousness and its pathologies by studying the neural activity of patients with disorders of consciousness and healthy volunteers using brain imaging technology. They identified two crucial brain circuits implicated in consciousness. The results of the study have been published in Human Brain Mapping. Consciousness is a complex […]
Nanoplastic Ingestion Causes Neurological Deficits
Microplastics, or plastic particulates measuring less than five micrometers, are a growing environmental concern. These particulates disrupt reproduction, immune cell and microbiome composition in the gut, and neural and endocrine function in aquatic species and laboratory animals. Now, a new study published in Cell Reports suggests that the smaller the plastic, the greater the problem. According to Chao […]
