Researchers from the University of Glasgow are part of a cross-Europe project which is aiming to develop a revolutionary new method of treating a wide range of neurological disorders. The Wireless Deep Brain Stimulation Through Engineered Multifunctional Nanomaterials project, or BRAINSTORM, is setting out to develop tiny injectable magnets which could help restore function to damaged […]

Study finds tiny cannabis capsules could help treat neurological diseases: A team of researchers led by Curtin University has discovered a new way to improve the absorption rate of medicinal cannabis when taken orally, which could potentially be used to treat neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and traumatic brain injuries in the […]
Daily listening to Mozart reduces seizures in individuals with epilepsy: A randomized control study. Researchers at the Toronto Western Hospital have also confirmed that only the original will work. In fact, listening to Mozart’s music once a day reduces the frequency of seizures. Objective Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders . Many […]

My decision to get involved with developing gene therapy for neurological disorders came about because my own daughter, Ornella, 11, was born with a rare genetic condition known as Sanfilippo Syndrome, or mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS-IIIA). One in 70,000 babies is born with this life-limiting condition that results from a genetic mutation of a particular enzyme and […]
