March is both #MultipleSclerosisAwarenessMonth and #AutoimmuneAwarenessMonth. Thank you to American Brain Foundation Global Ambassador Selma Blair for her advocacy on behalf of those living with MS and other autoimmune and brain diseases.

Today marks the beginning of #BrainAwarenessWeek, a @dana_fdn initiative to foster enthusiasm and support for brain science. One of the best ways to support brain science is to help fund research by making a gift to the American Brain Foundation ➡️ ow.ly/5Yup50YtNFM 💓

Researchers at @UNC_SOM and @CartesianTX have had success treating the symptoms of generalized #MyastheniaGravis with therapy that uses immune cells from a patient’s own blood to reduce production of harmful antibodies. #immunotherapy

Brittany Krzyzanowski, PhD, a 2024 Next Generation Research Grant recipient, has released a preliminary study finding that drinking water from newer groundwater is associated with a higher risk of #Parkinsons disease compared to older groundwater.

Today is #WorldSleepDay, which raises awareness about the important health benefits of sleep. This past ABF webinar features sleep expert Dr. Phyllis C. Zee, chair of our Research Advisory Committee. She explains why sleep is important for brain health. ow.ly/nMG950Ytywe

Today’s blog discusses how neurology and psychology both play important roles in brain health. These two important disciplines can work together for a holistic approach to treatment for many different brain diseases, disorders, and injuries. ⬇️ ow.ly/XYrN50YsW7H

Thank you for your support, @Ken_Rosenthal! Without research, there will be no cures. 🧠🔬 #CureOneCureMany

Researchers led by a team at Chalmers University of Technology have discovered #biomarkers of the earliest stages of #Parkinsons, which can be detected in a simple blood test. This could lead to earlier diagnoses, well before symptoms appear.

Please join us in congratulating the 2026 class of Next Generation Researchers! We look forward to reporting on the progress of their #research and continuing to follow their work as they progress in their careers and become leaders in #neuroscience.

Ariel Zhang, PhD was awarded a 2026 Next Generation Research Grant in #PeripheralNeuropathy. Institution: @TempleUniv This research is funded by @FoundationforPN. More ➡️ ow.ly/NiAK50Yru8o #PeripheralNeuropathyResearch
