Give to UCSFAn algorithm developed by scientists at UC San Francisco and UC Berkeley did better than two out of four expert radiologists at finding tiny brain hemorrhages in head scans—an advance that one day may help doctors treat patients with TBI, strokes and aneurysms.
Research team has detected the immunological remnants of a common seasonal virus in spinal fluid from dozens of patients diagnosed with acute flaccid myelitis (AFM). The findings provide the clearest evidence to date that AFM is caused by an enterovirus (EV) that invades and impairs the central nervous system.
The National Institutes of Health has awarded a five-year, multi-investigator research grant expected to total more than $63 million to Mayo Clinic and UC San Francisco, to advance treatments for frontotemporal lobar degeneration.
Scientists used maps of brain connections to predict how brain atrophy would spread in individual patients with frontotemporal dementia, adding to growing evidence that the loss of brain cells associated with dementia spreads via the synaptic connections between established brain networks.
UCSF researchers have received 10 grants from the NIH’s HEAL Initiative, which aims to speed scientific solutions to stem the national opioid public health crisis.
Distinct patterns of electrical activity in the sleeping brain may influence whether we remember or forget what we learned the previous day.
International team of researchers report progress in using stem cells to develop new therapies for Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease, a rare genetic condition affecting boys that can be fatal before 10 years of age.
The center will be a a two-campus multidisciplinary clinical and research alliance between UCSF and UC Berkeley.
Blood test that is currently under development may flag concussion in CT-negative patients, enabling them to be evaluated for long-term complications.
UCSF scientists show that Alzheimer’s disease directly attacks brain regions responsible for wakefulness during the day.
