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…

In medicine and research, understanding genetic mutations is essential. Research helps doctors better understand specific aspects of a patient’s condition. Epigenetics has revolutionized our understanding of how genes interact with the environment. Unlike traditional mutations, epigenetic mechanisms regulate genes without changing the genetic code. Memory formation and cognitive functions depend on epigenetics. Our brain is…

Recent research has shown us better ways to care for our health. When our brain functions well, we can think and operate properly. Brain plasticity directly depends on environmental influences and other factors. Exercise and proper nutrition play an essential role in maintaining health. For neuroplasticity, a healthy diet is key to a good outcome….

Scientists conducted an interesting study. It was focused entirely on how air pollution affects mental health. The results showed that it leads to a high risk of developing anxiety. A high probability of depressive states was also recorded. Among the volunteers were people who lived in highly polluted areas. This indicates the harmful effect of…

People perceive pain differently. Everyone has an individual threshold of sensitivity. Individuals with nerve damage often have inherently impaired natural pain suppression mechanisms. They experience greater discomfort from pain impulses. Scientists have found that the use of virtual reality (VR) produces remarkable results. This technology can reduce pain in patients with nerve damage. VR also…

Everyone sometimes experiences a headache that prevents them from living a normal life. Neurological health plays a key role in a good life and emotional well-being. Severe headache is the biggest trigger that interferes with daily activities. Often, people experience pain, such as migraines, which are very dangerous. A person may have poor vision and…
