2 days ago · Parkinson's disease (PD), or simply Parkinson's, is a long-term neurodegenerative disease of mainly the central nervous system that affects both the motor and non-motor systems of the body. The symptoms usually emerge slowly, and as the disease progresses, non-motor symptoms become more common.
1 day ago · Though our understanding of the precise nature of MS is limited, researchers have established that MS is caused by the patient's own immune system wreaking havoc on their central nervous system.
1 day ago · Multiple sclerosis ( MS) is an autoimmune disease in which the insulating covers of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord are damaged. [3] This damage disrupts the ability of parts of the nervous system to transmit signals, resulting in a range of signs and symptoms, including physical, mental, and sometimes psychiatric problems.
2 days ago · Parkinson’s disease (PD) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are chronic diseases affecting the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, respectively. Recent research suggests a ...
4 days ago · Central nervous system (CNS) diseases, ranging from brain cancers to neurodegenerative disorders like dementia and acute conditions such as strokes, have been heavily burdening healthcare and have a direct impact on patient quality of life. A significant hurdle in developing effective treatments is the presence of the blood–brain barrier (BBB), a highly selective barrier that prevents most ...
2 days ago · A West Virginia University immunologist is exploring how the interaction between two types of immune cells within the central nervous system covering causes multiple sclerosis to develop. The findings could provide a pathway to new strategies for treating the disease and other neurological disorders.
3 days ago · Improving our understanding of how and why hyperalgesia occurs following exercise in these patients can aid in understanding central nervous system mechanisms of disease maintenance and ultimately may help to avoid symptom exacerbation with exercise. However, there remain practical and mechanistic questions to be examined.
