Alzheimer Amyloid Clumps Found in Young Adult Brains

A Northwestern medicine study found accumulations of amyloid in young adult brains, the first time accumulation of amyloid has been shown at such a young age.

Disease Discoveries
Feb 18, 2015

Auditory Pain Pathway May Protect Against Hearing Loss

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a novel pain pathway in the inner ear that warns of dangerously loud noise and may act as a “bodyguard” for the ears, protecting against hearing loss.

SuperAger Brains Yield New Clues To Their Remarkable Memories

Brains of elderly patients with very sharp memories – patients known as cognitive SuperAgers – look distinctly different than their elderly peers, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study.

Disease Discoveries
Jan 28, 2015

Exploring Upper Motor Neuron Degeneration in ALS

Northwestern Medicine scientists have revealed a mechanism underlying the cellular degeneration of the upper motor neurons that die in ALS, and developed a model system that will allow further research on the degeneration.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Jan 22, 2015

Family Voices And Stories Speed Coma Recovery


A new Northwestern Medicine study has shown that playing recorded family stories can help wake up coma patients’ unconscious brain more quickly, and with improved recovery.
