A team of neurologists, neuroradiologists and biomaterials specialists affiliated with several institutions in Spain has found that marathon runners undergo a reversible reduction in myelin in the ...

Researchers uncover a surprising side effect of marathon running—temporary loss of brain myelin—hinting that the brain may burn its own insulation for energy during extreme physical stress. Brief ...

Marathon runners experience reversible changes in their brain myelin. These findings indicate that myelin (a substance that surrounds the neurons) exhibits behavior that was previously unknown, and ...

A study led by Cambridge researchers has shed light on how neural stem cell grafts could help restore myelin in the central nervous system. The findings suggest that neural stem cell‐based therapies ...

Researchers from Tel Aviv University have discovered a new biological mechanism that boosts the production of myelin - the fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers (axons) and enables rapid, ...

“Marathon brain” is real, a new study suggests. A neurologist explains why running hard temporarily reduces brain function.

Researchers investigated how a 40Hz light and sound therapy helps preserve myelin in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The therapy also shows potential for treating other conditions that involve ...

Mutation found in high-altitude animals may help repair myelin damage and support new treatments for neurological disorders ...

A study of marathon runners, carried out by the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU), CIC biomaGUNE and IIS Biobizkaia, reveals the unexpected behavior of myelin Exercise for a long period of ...
