A major new study tracking MS in England from 2000 to 2020 finds that recorded prevalence has more than doubled — but the increase reflects better diagnosis and longer survival rather than an underlying epidemic, painting a complex picture of progress and persistent challenge in one of neurology's most studied diseases.

A new study identifies autoreactive T cells that destroy orexin-producing hypothalamic neurons as the mechanism behind narcolepsy, explaining the sudden sleep attacks that define the condition and opening new treatment directions.

Researchers have pinpointed a molecular weak spot in anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis, the devastating autoimmune condition known as 'Brain on Fire.' The discovery opens the door to targeted therapies for a disease that attacks memory and cognition, causing psychiatric symptoms, seizures, and death.
