New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...

A new study reveals how mitochondrial failure in brain cells may be behind motor dysfunction in multiple sclerosis, offering ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disorder that is thought to impact about 2.3 million people around the ...

These problems—less energy, loss of myelin, and damaged neurons—start early, but the actual death of the brain cells tends to happen later, as the disease becomes more severe.

UC Riverside study may lead to new treatments for multiple sclerosis. Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 ...

Discover how the brain "eats" itself during a marathon, and how the recovery process opens doors to possible MS treatments.

Mitochondrial abnormalities, or problems in cells' powerhouses, contribute to nerve cell death linked to motor control in MS, ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer’s disease. One way axonal function may be hindered is through damage to the ...

Demyelination is the process in which the myelin sheath—a protective, insulating layer surrounding nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord—is damaged or lost. This disruption interferes with the ...

A rare case of Epstein-Barr virus-induced Bell palsy in an 18-year-old highlights the need for EBV testing in sudden facial ...
