Antioxidant precursor molecule could improve Parkinson’s

N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is a naturally occurring molecule that replenishes one of the body’s antioxidants and now shows potential benefit as part of a standard course of treatment for patients with Parkinson’s disease, according to a study published in the journal, Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics.

A new study reveals why most people prefer to cradle a baby on the left side.

Researchers assumed one reason for left side cradling preference is that emotions are primarily processed in the right hemisphere of the brain, which is linked to the left side of the body.

Novel therapy administered after TBI prevents brain damage

An experimental treatment given to mice after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) reduced damage almost to the levels of mice that never had a TBI, researchers at UT Health San Antonio reported.
