University Hospitals (UH) has been selected by the Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program (GP2) as one of four new study sites for the Black and African American Connections to Parkinson’s Disease (BLAAC PD) study, according to a news release. The Black and African American Connections to Parkinson’s Disease is an initiative of Global Parkinson’s Genetics Program […]

Researchers say deep brain stimulation can help stabilize the symptoms of Parkinson's for people in the advanced stages of the disease

Researchers say electrical stimulation delivered twice a day may help boost cognitive function in people with Alzheimer's disease

Researchers say they have identified 26 areas of DNA as well as 29 genes that may linked to the development of epilepsy. They hope their findings can lead to new treatments.

A small trial in humans, the first of its kind, suggests that adding deep brain stimulation to physiotherapy could be a safe and effective way to improve motor control after a stroke.

Researchers say a new brain mapping technique may help pinpoint lesions associated with epilepsy. This mapping may be useful in helping reduce epilepsy seizures.

Researchers from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine say that an EEG test could help doctors predict cognition problems in people with Parkinson’s disease.

Researchers from Tel Aviv University and UCLA Health have uncovered more information on how the brain consolidates memory during sleep. They found that deep brain stimulation applied during the deepest sleep cycle improves the brain’s ability to make memories.

Deep brain stimulation helped restore both cognitive and non-cognitive functions in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
