Blood tests could pave the way for distinguishing between Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and some dementias, aiding early treatment for brain diseases.

A new study published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism found that a ketogenic diet significantly increased cerebral blood flow and the levels of a protein that supports brain ...

Brain swelling, or cerebral edema, is a medical emergency. Learn about the evidence-based treatments doctors use to reduce pressure and protect the brain.

Objective Blood pressure (BP) lowering may increase stroke risk in patients with symptomatic major cerebral artery disease and impaired perfusion. To investigate the relationships among BP, impaired ...

A brain blood clot, also known as a cerebral thrombosis or embolism, occurs when a clot blocks a blood vessel in the brain, interrupting blood flow and potentially leading to stroke or other ...

Using magnetic resonance imaging in patients with β-thalassemia, researchers confirmed that there’s an increase in cerebral blood perfusion secondary to anemia severity, leading to a new theory ...

An initial proof-of-concept study 1 showed that stimulating the sphenopalatine ganglion with capsaicin increased transcranial Doppler markers of cerebral blood flow in healthy young volunteers.

After a mild concussion, parts of the brain can become "hyperconnected," and this may contribute to patients' long-lasting symptoms.

Persisting postconcussive symptoms (pPCS), particularly headache, can significantly disrupt children's recovery and functioning. However, the underlying pathophysiology of these symptoms remains ...

Cellular hypoxia is the common final pathway of brain injury that occurs not just after asphyxia, but also when cerebral perfusion is impaired directly (eg, embolic stroke) or indirectly (eg, raised ...
