Brain Health: refers to the ability to remember, learn, play, concentrate and maintain a clear, active mind... Simply, brain health is all about making the most of your brain and helping reduce some risks to it as you age.
Cannabidiol (CBD) has emerged as a promising anti-epileptic drug in otherwise treatment-resistant genetic epileptic disorders. However, the clinical trials have been limited by their use of C...
The study of rare, neurological disorder and the development of effect treatments can pose many unique challenges. A paucity of scientists working on these disorders often limits forward prog...
General anesthesia is a drug-induced, reversible condition comprised of five behavioral states: unconsciousness, amnesia (loss of memory), analgesia (loss of pain sensation), akinesia (immobi...
Most neuropsychiatric diseases involve multifactorial systems characterized by complex interactions among genetic predisposition/resiliency, environmental/social determinants, molecular seque...
98% of small molecules and 100% of large molecules do not cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Biologics, including therapeutic antibodies (e.g. anti-amyloid antibodies), have been at the for...

The human inner ear contains ~75,000 sensory hair cells that detect sound or movement via mechanosensitive hair bundles and transmit signals to the brain via specialized sensory neurons. Inne...
Alterations in homeostatic functions such as energy balance and sleep patterns are frequently seen in the elderly and these changes may precede and predict subsequent cognitive decline. ...
