Vision loss has long been treated as a one-way street, a devastating endpoint rather than a problem the brain might quietly work to solve. A wave of research is now overturning that assumption, ...

Scientists restored stroke-damaged brain tissue in mice, raising hopes that recovery may begin long after a stroke.

Tested as a possible brain therapy, the anti-aging drug combo instead stripped nerve insulation from mice, and the youngest ...

New research shows that the adult brain can generate new neurons that integrate into key motor circuits. The findings demonstrate that stimulating natural brain processes may help repair damaged ...

Patients often experience functional decline after an ischemic stroke, especially due to the brain's resistance to regenerate after damage. Yet, there is still potential for recovery as surviving ...

A Trinity College scientist won a European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant to pursue research aimed at gaining a better understanding of brain disorders and repair. Michael-John Dolan, PhD, an ...

In a new study using brain scans of former NFL athletes, researchers say they found high levels of a repair protein present long after a traumatic brain injury such as a concussion takes place. In a ...

Following an injury, the brain tries to repair the damaged nerve fibers . Unfortunately, the repair process often succeeds only partially, meaning many patients experience lasting damage to their ...

What began as a child's encounter with trauma has grown into a research programme committed to understanding recovery. When she was in Grade 5, Dr Gillian Mahumane's father suffered a traumatic brain ...

A new study by researchers at the Department of Molecular Medicine at SDU sheds light on one of the most severe consequences of stroke: damage to the brain's "cables"-the so-called nerve fibers-which ...
