Researchers at Mayo Clinic have created a detailed map of a deep brain region that could help doctors precisely target therapies for people with drug-resistant epilepsy. The discovery shows that brain areas just 3 millimeters apart connect to completely different networks, providing a blueprint for more effective treatment.
Vanderbilt researchers are testing whether fresh frozen plasma can protect brain cells and reduce swelling after traumatic brain injuries. If successful, it would be the first targeted TBI treatment in decades for the 2 million Americans who suffer these injuries each year.
Starting HIV treatment immediately after diagnosis can prevent irreversible brain damage, giving 1.75 million older South Africans living with the virus hope for healthier cognitive futures. New research shows that while HIV can reach the brain within two weeks of infection, prompt treatment stops damage before it starts.
A breakthrough gene therapy wiped out aggressive brain tumors in 83% of cases with a single dose and no side effects for nearly a year. The treatment also taught the immune system to prevent the cancer from returning.
A breakthrough brain stimulation technique combined with therapy helped 85% of military personnel dramatically reduce PTSD symptoms in just 30 days. This precision treatment offers new hope for veterans who haven't found relief with traditional methods.
A groundbreaking study shows that adding robotic-guided magnetic brain stimulation to therapy dramatically reduced combat PTSD symptoms in 85% of military personnel and veterans. The treatment could help up to 500,000 service members suffering from this debilitating condition.
Scientists identified the exact brain network causing Parkinson's disease and more than doubled treatment effectiveness by targeting it precisely. The breakthrough could transform care for over 10 million patients worldwide with non-invasive therapy.
A new radiation therapy delivered during brain tumor surgery more than doubled survival time compared to standard treatment, eliminating weeks of waiting and uncertainty for patients. The breakthrough means cancer patients can receive radiation immediately instead of waiting up to a month after surgery.
Brain tumor patients in Augusta, Georgia can now receive treatment without surgery, incisions, or even general anesthesia. The new Gamma Knife Esprit system is already helping patients heal faster with fewer side effects.
Scientists at UC Irvine found a way to predict which antidepressants will work best for individual patients using brain imaging and behavioral tests. The approach increased treatment success rates by 67 percent compared to traditional trial and error methods.
Healthcare leaders in Dubai are working together to bring cutting-edge precision cancer treatments to patients faster, with a special focus on brain tumors during Grey May awareness month. The collaboration aims to make life-changing therapies accessible to everyone who needs them.
A new drug called EG501 significantly improved cognitive function in lupus patients during a 12-week trial, offering hope for the 80% who struggle with debilitating brain fog. Vanderbilt researchers discovered the biological cause and successfully targeted it with treatment.
International researchers discovered how to engineer tiny medicine carriers that trick the body's own blood proteins into safely delivering drugs past the brain's protective barrier. This breakthrough could transform treatment for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and deadly brain cancers.
Scientists at University of Rochester developed a gene therapy that uses the brain's natural cleaning system to deliver treatments throughout the brain, avoiding one of medicine's toughest obstacles. The breakthrough could transform treatment for multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and rare childhood brain disorders.
After 20 years of groundbreaking brain research, a powerhouse science team is pivoting to develop gene therapies for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Their expertise could unlock new treatments for millions living with brain diseases.
Scientists are discovering how anorexia changes brain circuits, opening doors to breakthrough treatments that could help the one-third of patients who don't recover with current therapy. New research shows these brain changes may be reversible with proper nutrition.
A new UCLA study shows an intensive five-day magnetic brain stimulation protocol works as well as the traditional six-week treatment for depression. This breakthrough could help thousands of patients who struggle to commit to months of clinic visits.
A quick, personalized brain stimulation therapy is now available in Arkansas for people whose depression hasn't responded to medication or counseling. The FDA-approved SAINT system at UAMS takes just five days and helps restore normal brain function.
Scientists have discovered a promising new approach to treating autism by targeting a specific brain protein that restores normal neural activity. The therapy worked in both mouse models and human brain organoids, offering hope for millions.
Scientists found that brain cells in young people with depression work overtime when resting but can't keep up under stress. This breakthrough could lead to earlier diagnosis and better treatments for millions struggling with the condition.
