| Increase in fatal opioid overdoses after hospital discharge Posted: 05 Oct 2021 02:53 PM PDT The period after hospital discharge is a high-risk time for people who use illicit opioids such as heroin, according to new research.

| One in three kids with food allergies say they’ve been bullied because of their condition Posted: 05 Oct 2021 02:53 PM PDT Living with a food allergy can greatly impact a child's everyday life -- from limiting participation in social activities to being treated differently by peers. While previous research indicates many kids experience food allergy-related bullying, a new study found that offering kids with food allergies a multi-question assessment gives a more accurate picture of the size and scope of the problem. |
| Study detects origins of Huntington's disease in two-week-old human embryos Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:47 AM PDT The findings shed new light on the root causes of this disease, which leads to the degeneration of neurons in midlife. |
| New study uncovers brain circuits that control fear responses Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:47 AM PDT Researchers have discovered a brain mechanism that enables mice to override their instincts based on previous experience. |
| Cancer chemotherapy drug reverses Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:46 AM PDT A drug commonly used to treat cancer can restore memory and cognitive function in mice that display symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, new research has found. The drug, Axitinib, inhibits growth of new blood vessels in the brain -- a feature shared by both cancer tumors and Alzheimer's disease. This hallmark represents a new target for Alzheimer's therapies. Mice that underwent the therapy not only exhibited a reduction in blood vessels and other Alzheimer's markers in their brains, they also performed remarkably well in tests designed to measure learning and memory. |
| Posted: 05 Oct 2021 09:46 AM PDT Sense of smell or taste returns within six months for 4 out of every 5 COVID-19 survivors who have lost these senses, and those under 40 are more likely to recover these senses than older adults, an ongoing study found. |

| Natural compound in basil may protect against Alzheimer’s disease pathology Posted: 05 Oct 2021 07:18 AM PDT Fenchol, a natural compound abundant in some plants including basil, can help protect the brain against Alzheimer's disease pathology, a preclinical study suggests. The team discovered a sensing mechanism associated with the gut microbiome that explains how fenchol reduces neurotoxicity in the Alzheimer's brain. |
