Neural networks are emblematic of complex systems, so it's no surprise that the field of neurology is eclectic and intricate, too. Main challenges for neurologists are therapies of and research on stroke, seizures, movement disorders such as Parkinson's disease, autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis and dementias such as Alzheimer's disease.
At the JFR 2025 (Journées Françaises de Radiologie), the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology, an organist and a neuroradiologist came together to share a story that bridges two worlds rarely seen in dialogue – that of sound and that of images. One listens, the other looks. Yet both try to understand the same mystery: what happens in the human brain when music takes control?
Philips and Cortechs.ai have extended their collaboration to integrate AI-enabled quantitative neuroimaging analytics directly into MR systems. The partnership aims to provide radiologists with automated, objective measurements of brain structures and lesions to support diagnosis and monitoring of neurological conditions.
University of Delaware researchers use robotic testing to spot an often overlooked sensory deficit in stroke survivors – proprioception, the body's ability to sense movement and position.
New hope for patients with neurological diseases: A combination of focused ultrasound and gene therapy enables targeted, nonsurgical control of seizure-relevant brain regions.
Researchers developed an AI-assisted brain atlas for visualization at microscopic detail using MRI scans. The tool could transform early detection of Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
Why does amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, attack motor neurons, the cells that control body movement, while others are spared? A new study may have found an answer.
With Taipei City Government's support, six Taipei companies will showcase innovative biotech and medical device solutions at MEDICA 2025 (Nov 17–20, Düsseldorf), advancing healthcare with speed and precision.
A novel subretinal implant could help patients with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) partially restore eyesight, a new study shows. Participants recovered their ability to read letters, numbers and words.
During menopause, many women experience forgetfulness, trouble concentrating, and mental fatigue. A new review explores the link between brain changes during menopause and these symptoms.
After a stroke, traditional rehabilitation often relies on repetitive exercises that can be physically demanding and demotivating for patients. A new study explores the potential of virtual reality (VR) to solve these issues.
Newly discovered blood biomarkers may offer new options to track Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in a less invasive way than physical tests or biopsies. This could support more tailored treatments.
Traditional diagnostic methods for epilepsy face significant limitations. A new clinical trial explores the potential of advanced brain monitoring to improve diagnosis and management of the condition.
Entering menopause at an earlier age is associated with an increased risk of dementia, a new study finds. The research also suggests a way for women to combat the cognitive decline.
It is known that depression is linked to increased incidence of metabolic diseases; now scientists have discovered that different types of depression are linked to different cardiometabolic diseases.
Scientists have developed a new method to track the build-up of amyloid plaques – a key characteristic of Alzheimer’s disease – in real time – an important step forward towards new treatments.
At the EANS neurosurgery congress in Vienna, Italian medical imaging company Esaote presented I-Genius, a new open MRI system designed to provide real time checks during glioma surgery.
Dizziness upon standing up or during exertion: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affects almost a third of patients with severe long Covid, a new study finds.
Scientists have shown for the first time that glioblastoma—the deadliest form of brain cancer—affects not just the brain but also erodes the skull, alters the makeup of skull marrow, and interferes with the body’s immune response.
New insights on the mechanisms that cause “brain fog” in Long Covid patients: Researchers use a specialized brain imaging technique to identify a potential biomarker and therapeutic target.
