These Scholars, generously funded by the Marcus Foundation, Inc., are now able to learn more about the causes and treatment of disorders affecting the nervous system — not only from a scientific perspective but also by examining how society and systems contribute to these issues.
A study of patients who underwent epilepsy surgery in the language-dominant temporal lobe identified key risk factors for early naming decline and found that the degree of early decline predicts long-term recovery.
A new study identified human pegivirus in the brains and blood of patients with Parkinson’s disease, revealing virus-linked immune and gene expression changes that varied by genetic background.
In a long-term cohort study, researchers found that specific retinal changes—thinner photoreceptor layers and thicker retinal pigment epithelium—were linked to a higher risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, suggesting potential noninvasive biomarkers for early detection.
Large language models used in clinical decision-making may offer different treatment recommendations depending on how a patient writes their message—even when the medical facts remain unchanged.

A human fasting study found that prolonged water-only fasting raised inflammatory and platelet activation markers, reduced amyloid beta proteins, and altered lipid and glucose metabolism, with most changes reversing after refeeding.
A large European study found that people with COPD walk slower and have reduced gait performance compared to healthy adults, with impairments worsening as disease severity increases.
A 12-year study of over 4,000 adults found that poor performance on a basic sitting and rising test was strongly linked to increased risk of death from natural and cardiovascular causes.
New research reviewed dozens of studies and revealed that visual dysfunction, including retinal changes, may serve as early signs of neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental diseases, offering a noninvasive pathway for earlier diagnosis and disease monitoring.
