New research suggests that balance and coordination problems in multiple sclerosis may begin when key brain cells slowly run ...

Many people with multiple sclerosis struggle with balance and coordination, and this study uncovers a hidden reason why.

It's an ability and skill often taken for granted. It affects quality of life and has been linked to heart disease and stroke. As we age and our muscles weaken, balance becomes crucial to staying ...

Deletion of mini-exon B in the synaptic adhesion molecule PTPδ leads to altered neural connectivity from the entorhinal cortex to the dentate gyrus (left panel). In mice lacking mini-exon B, ...

A sensitive perception of the environment is crucial for guiding our behavior. However, an overly sensitive response of the brain's neural circuits to stimuli can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders ...

A new study by Scripps Research reveals that alcohol dependence disrupts two signaling pathways in a stress-related part of the brain—and offers insights on developing drugs to treat this condition.

Imagine if keeping your brain in top shape was as routine as brushing your teeth in the morning or exercising before work. Brain health is more than simply the absence of disease; it is the state of ...

Balance is a “multifaceted physiological process” that involves vision, the vestibular system in the inner ear and the nervous system, researchers wrote in a 2024 study in the Journal of the American ...

“This is a paradigm shift,” says Donn Van Deren, PhD, postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Pennsylvania, who ...

A deep dive into the brain’s command center for hunger shows how decoding its circuits could transform the future of weight loss treatments. Brain integration of environmental cues in the regulation ...
