Do you get a throbbing pain on both sides of your head after strenuous exercise? Here’s what might be happening.
Rather than seeking a single cure — a magic bullet — for Alzheimer’s disease, a shotgun blast of different drugs with different targets may be a better approach to this very complex condition.

Migraine is many things, but one thing it’s not is ‘just a headache’. Here’s what causes the symptoms and the medication options to treat them.
New research has revealed the role that kinesin, a nanoscopic motor protein, holds in the brain. It helps build dendritic spines, the physical structures that grow from neurons.
Our body fiercely protects the brain by holding onto things that help it and keeping harmful things out, such as toxins and bugs that can cause infection.
Traumatic brain injury can have profound long-term impact, but care is often focused on immediate symptoms. Bill C-277 aims to develop a national strategy for treatment, rehabilitation and recovery.
Fluctuating hormones affect the frequency of seizures at multiple times in women’s lives. So we need to tailor their therapies accordingly.
How exactly do anaesthetic drugs shut down the brain? We still don’t have a complete picture, but a new study just got us a step closer.
Sleep habits can be improved by making shifts in both daytime and evening routines.
Some scientists theorize that artificial intelligence may be able to deduce thoughts from EEGs.
Is brain transplant surgery the stuff of dark Hollywood fairytales or a feasible possibility?
Scientists have published the first evidence that Alzheimer’s can be transmitted from person to person. Patients received human growth hormone from the tissue of donated brains.
Doing two things at the same time isn’t always as productive, healthy or safe as focusing on one thing at a time.
Montréal is home to one of the world’s largest brain banks, the Douglas-Bell Canada Brain Bank, where discoveries about different neurological and psychiatric diseases are made.
