- Brown researchers posit region of brain's role in planning movements based on sound Feb. 21, 2021
- University researchers collaborated with the BrainGate clinical trial to identify the role of the middle frontal gyrus &emdash; an area in the front region of the brain &emdash; in planning movements based on auditory stimuli, including words and other sounds, through observations of a single participant in the trial.
- Brain fog, fatigue, depression: COVID-19 long-haulers face symptoms months later Dec. 1, 2020
- COVID-19 patients are reporting long-term symptoms more than 6 months after their initial infection. These have included neurological symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, PTSD and more.
- How COVID-19 affects your brain Nov. 13, 2020
- How COVID-19 affects your brain. There are different reasons for brain involvement depending on how the virus has entered the body. If the virus enters the brain from the nose, the impairment will be different as opposed to if the virus impairs other organs which in turn impair the brain. If it affects the lungs or heart, there can still be brain changes from secondary effects of reduction in oxygen delivery, or reduction in blood supply to the brain.
- Study finds brain abnormalities 'common' in COVID-19 patients Oct. 30, 2020
- A new study is shedding light on how COVID-19 is disrupting normal brain function in infected patients.
- Analysis shows nearly a third of COVID-19 patients have brain abnormalities Oct. 29, 2020
- A review of more than 80 studies has found that many patients have abnormalities in the frontal lobe of the brain, findings which shed light on COVID-19's neurological symptoms.
- What EEGs tell us about COVID-19 and the brain Oct. 26, 2020
- Throughout the pandemic, healthcare workers have seen more than just the lungs affected by COVID-19. Doctors have reported neurological complications including…
- Patient diaries reveal propensity for epileptic seizures Dec. 4, 2019
- A researcher at Rice University's Brown School of Engineering and an alumna of her lab have the first validation of their program to assess the risk of seizures in patients with epilepsy. In a preliminary study, their Epilepsy Seizure Assessment Tool (EpiSAT) proved equally able or better than 24…
- Haneef, Kung, Maheshwari, Strutt, and York receive the Norton Rose Fulbright Faculty Excellence Award for 2019. May 17, 2019
- The Norton Rose Fulbright Faculty Excellence Award (formerly the Fulbright & Jaworski LLP Faculty Excellence Award) is a criterion-based program that recognizes faculty contributions in four categories: Teaching and Evaluation, Development of Enduring Educational Materials, Educational Leadership and Educational Research.
