A novel peptide augments the brain's natural mechanism to help prevent seizures and protect neurons in research models of both Alzheimer's and epilepsy, scientists report. The A1R-CT peptide the ...

Mysterious net-like structures that surround select neurons in the brain may be the key for better understanding and treating Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia and other neurological ...

Some people with tough-to-treat epilepsy might benefit if doctors target a brain region newly linked to the disorder, a new study suggests. Seizures declined by 83% after a patient underwent surgery ...
