A significant challenge with chronic pain is how it alters brain function and extends recovery time. Over time, chronic pain can contribute to the development of neurological conditions. Chronic pain can lead to the loss of vital gray matter in the brain. A person’s memory and cognitive functions deteriorate as persistent pain keeps the nervous…
Susceptibility to migraines is influenced by multiple factors. Genetic and hormonal factors play an important role in migraine development. The environment is also vital. Genomic studies have identified 13 genetic variants. These variants are strongly linked to migraine susceptibility. These genes affect glutamatergic neurotransmission and synapse function. The biological processes underlying migraines are complex and…
Your stomach might be talking to your brain more than you think. Scientists are finding a strong link between what happens in your gut microbiome and how your brain works. Researchers are increasingly focused on how this link contributes to neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. These are progressive diseases that gradually impair brain function….
Imagine our brains and nerves like a complex network. When something goes wrong, like after an injury or with certain illnesses, this network can get damaged. That’s where stem cells come in. They’re like blank slate cells that can turn into different kinds of cells, including the ones we need for our nervous system. Scientists…
