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.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.Brain Wave Readings May Be Key to Detecting Concussions
Measuring levels of a specific brain wave could lead to more objective, definitive methods of diagnosing concussions and determining when young athletes can safely return to play, according to a UT Southwestern study.UTSW Scientists Identify Brain Circuit That Triggers Rare, Blood Sugar-dependent Epilepsy
A small group of brain cells linked in a circuit is responsible for setting off whole-brain seizures in a rare form of epilepsy affected by blood sugar levels, a study led by UT Southwestern researchers suggests. The finding, published in Science Translational Medicine, could lead to new treatments for other metabolic disorders in the brain, the authors said.
