Feb 4, 2015

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.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Jan 15, 2015

Tracking Physical Activity and Recovery from Spine Surgery

Northwestern Medicine investigators are monitoring physical activity using Fitbit trackers to better predict recovery over time for patients who undergo spine surgery.

Disease Discoveries
Jan 8, 2015

A New Target for Improving Movement Symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease

Excessive brain plasticity in the subthalamic nucleus may be pivotal to abnormal brain activity and impaired movement in Parkinson’s disease, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study.

Disease Discoveries
Dec 17, 2014

Mechanisms of Rare Disorder May Shed Light on Parkinson’s Disease

A Northwestern Medicine study shows that lysosome dysfunction caused by a genetic mutation in patients with a rare Parkinson’s-like disorder leads to neurodegeneration, a finding that may link to common forms of the disease.

Scientific Advances
Nov 21, 2014

Deconstructing How the Brain Processes Odors

Distinct regions of the human brain encode dozens of molecules within a natural odor individually and as a whole, helping guide odor-related behavior, according to a new Northwestern Medicine study.

Clinical Breakthroughs
Nov 20, 2014

Children’s Relentless Seizures Halted By New Drug

A recent publication documents the first clinical application for pediatric patients with refractory status epilepticus, a life-threatening form of seizure disorder, providing hope for treatment.
