Non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep arousal disorders involve repeated episodes of incomplete awakening from sleep, most commonly sleepwalking or night terrors (also known as sleep terrors), but ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital Boston, who specialize in studying the genetics of rare eye-movement disorders, have found a rare genetic syndrome whose implications go far beyond the eye, raising ...

The Parkinson’s Disease and Movement Disorders Center at University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center offers clinical fellowship training in movement disorders. The fellowship can be either 12 months ...

A University of Houston engineering team has developed wearable sensors to examine eye movement to assess brain disorders or damage to the brain. Many brain diseases and problems show up as eye ...

Zebrafish research is a promising way to understand the neural and genetic causes of eye movement problems in people, according to multi-university research. Researchers studying zebrafish have found ...

Zebrafish, photographed with confocal microscope. The brain region that controls eye movement is structurally similar in fish and mammals, but the zebrafish system contains only 500 neurons, making it ...

People with rapid eye movement (REM) sleep behavior disorder react physically to what they are dreaming. During episodes, a person vocalizes or screams, and/or engages in complex and sometimes violent ...

Working with week-old zebrafish larva, researchers decoded how the connections formed by a network of neurons in the brainstem guide the fishes' gaze. The study found that a simplified artificial ...
