This overactivity may contribute to chronic neurodegeneration and worsen brain disorders. Understanding how this process, called reactive gliosis, is controlled could help scientists better understand brain diseases and improve treatments.  </p> Tue, 03 Sep 2024 15:54:17 +0000 Helen Gemmrich 6151 at /neuro Helping patients from beginning  to end: The Neuro’s Registration and Admitting Team  /neuro/article/helping-patients-beginning-end-neuros-registration-and-admitting-team Giselle Yepes and Sarah-Lillian Ouellet-Wheeler work to ensure that each patient's journey through The Neuro begins with care and compassion.  Thu, 29 Aug 2024 18:35:05 +0000 Stephane Mukunzi 6144 at /neuro Discovery gives answers to parents of children with rare disease /neuro/article/research/discovery-gives-answers-parents-children-rare-disease Scientists identify gene mutations that cause debilitating neurodevelopmental problems in infancy.
