Head trauma doesn't predict memory problems in NFL retirees, UT Southwestern study shows
Research believed to be first to measure cognitive functioning of former football players over timeCharacterizing Lewy Pathology in 231 Essential Tremor (ET) Brains From the ET Centralized Brain Repository
The Essential Tremor Centralized Brain Repository is the largest repository of prospectively collected essential tremor (ET) brains (n = 231).O'Donnell Brain Institute’s Aviation Neurology Program Ensures Top-flight Pilot Performance
Alison Leston, M.D., Ph.D., Section Head of General Neurology and Headache at UT Southwestern, has led institutional efforts to support aviation medicine and cares for numerous pilots assisting their need to meet federal health requirements for flying.Darin Okuda, MD, FAAN, FANA, on Early Detection of RIS and Significance of ARISE Study Findings
Darin Okuda, MD, FAAN, FANA, director of Neuroinnovation and Multiple Sclerosis & Neuroimmunology Imaging Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center is featured on NeurologyLive providing insight on the promising future of treating radiologically isolated syndrome (RIS) at its earliest stages.Cooling Brain Tumor Cells Could Make Headway in Glioblastoma, UTSW Researcher Finds
Lowering temperatures to nonlethal levels stopped cancer cells from dividing in study led by residentCenter for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases
The goal of the Center for Alzheimer's and Neurodegenerative Diseases is to come up with effective therapy and diagnosis for Alzheimer's and related disorders. We are studying neurodegeneration from the standpoint of prion biology and protein aggregation.45th Annual Carrell Krusen Neuromuscular Symposium
The 2023 conference will take place on the UT Southwestern Medical Center Campus.New Technique Improves High-intensity Focused Ultrasound Treatment for Brain Disorders
UT Southwestern physicians have developed an improved targeting method, four-tract tractography, to personalize MRI-guided, high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) used at UTSW to treat medication refractory tremor in essential tremor and tremor-dominant Parkinson’s disease.Riding the Wave to Memory-forming Genetics
UT Southwestern scientists have identified key genes involved in brain waves that are pivotal for encoding memories. The findings, published online this week in Nature Neuroscience, could eventually be used to develop novel therapies for people with memory loss disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.Laser Procedure Offers Advantages For Rare Pediatric Epilepsy Surgery
Using a laser for a rare brain surgery to treat drop seizures, which cause a child with epilepsy to suddenly fall, holds some advantages over a traditional open craniotomy, including shorter hospital stays for patients, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers indicates.Flexible Assemblies of Nerve Cells Key to Episodic Memory
For the first time, scientists have recorded human nerve cells firing together in flexible assemblies, a process that appears necessary to successfully encode long-term memories, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers reports.UT Southwestern Ataxia Clinic Is a Destination Clinic to Address This Complex Disorder
UT Southwestern Medical Center has opened a multidisciplinary clinic for the treatment and research of cerebellar ataxia, a group of disabling neurological disorders centered in the cerebellum. The disorders, which affect up to 150,000 people in the U.S., result in uncoordinated limb and trunk movements and falls, frequently leading to wheelchair confinement.
