Researchers found patients who took memantine and donepezil experienced significant improvement in cognition, memory, and overall dail...

Heavy Computer Use May Result In Glaucoma

...rs. Thus researchers say they feel that the optic nerve in near-sighted people may be more vulnerable to computer stress than it is in normal eyes based on their findings ....

Shrinkage Of Brain Size Linked To Chronic Pain

...uropathic type of pain, which is caused by sciatic nerve damage. Thus researchers hypothesize that some of the decrease in brain density reflects only tissue shrinkage, which could be reversed with proper treatment. They say it may also be attributed to more irreversible processes like neurodegeneration....

The Link Between Eye Disease And Sleepiness

Recent research shows that people who have optic nerve damage are at increased risk for sleep disorder.//...mal sight. Researchers discovered those with optic nerve disease were 20-times more likely to have daytime sleepiness than those with normal sight. Additiona...

Physical Activity Good For Developing Cognitive Skills

...o the brain and helping to stimulate the growth of nerve cells in a brain region involved in memory function. Thus researchers conclude saying that their study suggests that being physically active in old age could keep the brain fit....

Weight Training Found To Be Effective In Treating MS

... white blood cells attack fatty tissue surrounding nerve fibers of the central nervous system. Statistics show that MS is twice as common in women as in men . // A new study shows weightlifting can help patients with multiple sclerosis.

By tracking the nerve cells in rats, the researchers had found that the identified type of neuron receives inhibitory signals during night that makes them inactive, and hence animals sleep. These neurons produce a chemical called orexin that keeps the animal awake. Inhib...
