New optical neural chip technology reveals unexpected dopamine dynamics

DGIST (President Lee Kunwoo) Department of Brain Sciences Professor Lee Kwang and his team have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain requires fast neural signal processing in a short period of less than a second. Dopamine is known to have the strongest […]

Breakthrough therapy heals spinal cord injuries

In November 2021, Northwestern University researchers introduced an injectable new therapy, which harnessed fast-moving “dancing molecules,” to repair tissues and reverse paralysis after severe spinal cord injuries. Now, the same research group has applied the therapeutic strategy to damaged human cartilage cells. In the new study, the treatment activated the gene expression necessary to regenerate cartilage […]

Scientists explore early life factors contributing to SMA

Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a severe neurological disease for which there is presently no cure, although current therapies can alleviate symptoms. In the search for better treatment options, scientists at DZNE and the Dresden University of Technology are now drawing attention to previously unnoticed abnormalities in embryonic development. They base their argument on studies […]

New brain targets for GLP1-based obesity drugs may reduce weight without nausea

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a group of researchers identified brain circuits that can be targeted by glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1)-based obesity drugs to promote weight loss without causing adverse side effects. Study: Dissociable hindbrain GLP1R circuits for satiety and aversion. Image Credit: MillaF / Shutterstock Background  A long-standing question concerns the relationship between […]

Novel molecule could inform new therapies for stroke-related brain injury

A newly developed molecule, LK-2, could inform new therapies for stroke-related brain injury, finds scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).  An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, depriving the brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. Without timely treatment, brain cells can die, resulting in permanent […]

Serotonin 2C receptor in the brain regulates memory in people and animal models, research shows

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, the University of Cambridge in the U.K. and collaborating institutions have shown that serotonin 2C receptor in the brain regulates memory in people and animal models. The findings, published in the journal Science Advances, not only provide new insights into the factors involved in healthy memory but also in […]

Understanding the link between EBV-infected B cells and multiple sclerosis

The Wistar Institute’s Paul M. Lieberman, Ph.D., and lab team led by senior staff scientist and first author, Samantha Soldan, Ph.D., have demonstrated how B cells infected with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can contribute to a pathogenic, inflammatory phenotype that contributes to multiple sclerosis (MS); the group has also shown how these problematic B cells […]

Monoclonal antibody Prasinezumab shows promise in slowing rapid Parkinson’s progression

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, a large, international team of researchers conducted an exploratory analysis to evaluate whether the monoclonal antibody prasinezumab, which had previously been observed to be effective in slowing the progression of motor-associated signs of Parkinson’s disease, did indeed show benefits in subgroups of Parkinson’s disease patients […]

Study pinpoints 95 locations in the genome associated with risk of developing PTSD

In posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), intrusive thoughts, changes in mood, and other symptoms after exposure to trauma can greatly impact a person’s quality of life. About 6 percent of people who experience trauma develop the disorder, but scientists don’t yet understand the neurobiology underlying PTSD.  Now, a new genetic study of more than 1.2 million […]

Researchers find a promising approach to remove amyloid plaques in Alzheimer’s disease

Alzheimer’s disease starts with a sticky protein called amyloid beta that builds up into plaques in the brain, setting off a chain of events that results in brain atrophy and cognitive decline. The new generation of Alzheimer’s drugs -; the first proven to change the course of the disease -; work by tagging amyloid for […]
