Decades of research have implicated hippocampal dysfunction in psychosis, but it’s been unclear whether this dysfunction was causative or compensatory. A new study suggests a causal role for ...

Lesion mapping led researchers to identify a common brain circuit related to epilepsy. A new brain circuit found by mapping lesions related to epilepsy could have clinical implications for predicting ...

Andrew Pines, MD, MA, a resident in the Department of Psychiatry at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and a researcher in the Center for Brain Circuit Therapeutics, is the lead author of a paper published ...

NMOSD accounts for 1 to 2% of all cases of CNS inflammatory demyelinating disease in the United States and Europe, with multiple sclerosis being much more common, but NMOSD accounts for one third or ...

Lesions that cause secondary psychosis were most functionally similar to lesions that cause amnesia, though lesions that cause amnesia were more likely to be in the brain’s left hemisphere while those ...

This 3D illustration shows color-coded basal ganglia structures. These subcortical brain regions are located beneath the cerebrum's outermost layer of gray matter known as the cerebral cortex. Source: ...

Brain stem gliomas very rare growths that begin in the glial cells of the brain stem. Doctors can diagnose brain stem glioma using neurological exams and scans. Treatment may involve chemotherapy, ...

The brain stem is a portion of the brain made of four distinct sections: the diencephalon, mesencephalon, pons, and medulla oblongata. Each of these sections has associated functions which are vital ...

A new, incision-free technique developed at UVA Health to treat debilitating brain lesions called cerebral cavernous malformations, or cavernomas, has shown great promise in early testing, halting the ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers fabricated cerebral cortical tissues in three dimensions (3D) and functionally integrated them into a brain lesion in mice. Study: ...
