While high-profile concussions in the NFL have brought renewed attention to the gravity of head injuries, they can also occur on the playground or during junior varsity practices – with lasting effects.
From figuring out where memories are stored to how sensory information translates to behavior, new technologies are helping neuroscientists better understand how the brain works.
Because some seizures are relatively subtle, they can go unrecognized, leading to a delay in diagnosis.
A deadly neurological infection, chronic wasting disease, has been detected in deer, elk and moose in 30 states and four Canadian provinces. Human risk is low, but hunters need to take precautions.
Long overlooked by scientists, white matter may provide clues to some of the brain’s greatest mysteries.
The technology is progressing but it must pass a number of regulatory hurdles. We’re unlikely to see an affordable implant in the short term.
