  • New mechanism explains how spinal stimulation improves arm movement after stroke
    on July 17, 2026 at 6:40 pm

    Researchers in the Neuromechatronics Lab at Carnegie Mellon University have already proven that spinal cord stimulation can help people regain movement after stroke, but until now they didn’t quite know how.

  • Early warning signs of potential drug resistance in schistosomiasis parasite revealed
    on July 17, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    Scientists have identified genetic changes in wild populations of the parasitic worm that causes schistosomiasis that may reduce its response to praziquantel, the only available treatment. The study provides an early warning for disease control and elimination programs.

  • Extra SORLA protein shields brain connections from tau tangles in mouse models
    on July 17, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    Alzheimer’s disease and many other forms of neurodegeneration share a common culprit. In these diseases, tau proteins that normally stabilize neuronal microtubule filaments within our nervous system networks instead form noxious knots and gradually disrupt the circuits they would otherwise preserve.

  • Genetic study redefines a form of excessive sweating as a treatable neurological condition
    on July 17, 2026 at 6:00 pm

    An international research team led by Dr. Frank Bosmans (Vrije Universiteit Brussel) has discovered a major genetic cause of hyperhidrosis (chronic and excessive sweating). The study, published in Science Advances, provides strong evidence that a genetically determined form of hyperhidrosis arises from overstimulation of the nerves that control the sweat glands. The discovery removes the stigma surrounding the condition and paves the way for targeted treatments using existing medicines.

  • CDC warns of parasite outbreak tied to Taco Bell lettuce in 5 states
