Singing in a choir helps people regain their voice and reduces social isolation and the sense of loss that often follows diagnosis with a brain condition.
Researchers are finding ways to target the toxic proteins involved in neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s that were once considered ‘undruggable.’
Paraquat is one of the most widely used herbicides around the world. An expert explains what we know about the risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Ozempic-style drugs have been flagged as possible treatments for cancer, dementia, endo, addiction and more. An expert explains what the evidence really says.
As G7 societies age and birth rates decline, we must invest in collaborative open science research, to optimize brain health for every citizen.
An in-ear device could help detect the early signs of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, well before symptoms appear.
Scientists have shown that plastic bottles could be converted into levodopa, an important Parkinson’s drug, with implications for both medicine and the environment.
Parkinson’s disease doesn’t only mean a tremor and falls. It can cause insomnia, memory issues and impulsive behaviour. And it affects men and women differently.
People typically die from progressive supranuclear palsy within 7 to 10 years. There is currently no specialized treatment or effective screening for this neurodegenerative disease.
One of the biggest barriers to diagnoses of brain disorders is that symptoms — particularly those of apathy — can be mistaken for depression, resulting in inappropriate treatment and poorer health.
Modern science is increasingly validating what many traditions have long held: Singing and chanting can have profound health benefits.
Motion data is well known for improving athletic performance and rehab. Thanks to AI, it’s also turning motion into another vital sign for general health.
This sign of neurodegenerative disease often appears much earlier than other symptoms.
This common condition is characterised by involuntary muscle spasms.
As we transition from wakefulness to sleep, the nervous system winds down and muscles relax. Sometimes, the brain misinterprets what’s happening.
Kennedy is one of about 50,000 Americans who have spasmodic dysphonia.
Deep brain stimulation has been around for a few decades, but the technology has recently advanced in leaps and bounds.
Any drug that increases dopamine levels could theoretically be linked to impulse control disorders.
New research shows people in specific Polynesian communities have a much higher rate of a form of Parkinson’s disease considered rare elsewhere.
