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

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

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.

Anti-CD20 therapies, a type of MS treatment, changes levels and profiles of several immune cells in people with MS, a study ...

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

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 ...
