A seizure occurs when there is sudden abnormal electrical activity that temporarily interrupts normal brain function. Large groups of neurons fire at the same time like an electrical storm inside ...

Stem cells can restore brain function even weeks after a stroke. It reduces overactive brain signals and improves recovery.

Now they look like more a normal brain. So we believe that perhaps ketamine is working by regenerating these connections that are needed for normal brain functioning. Narrator: And that could make ...

“At 18°C, we'll have a massive leak in our blood-brain barrier, and the brain is not protected anymore from the normal junk we produce,” Gracheva said. The resulting flood of toxins through the ...
