New treatments may result from identifying a likely culprit behind the brain build-up that ties all neurodegenerative diseases together.

"Until we can understand each component, we can't expect to take the brain apart and put it back together again in order to figure out how it works."

Transplanting neurons into the brains of mice after a traumatic brain injury reduced memory loss and prevented them from developing epilepsy.

Scientists have tried to figure out why neurons die in patients with Parkinson's disease, but new research indicates they're not even really dead.

A cerebral hemorrhage can cause brain damage even after a patient survives, but new research indicates a way to stop it.

New research confirms that the brain tunes itself to a point where it is as excitable as it can be without tipping into disorder to max out info processing.
