Researchers introduce a pioneering approach to combat neurodegenerative diseases

Researchers led by Northwestern University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison have introduced a pioneering approach aimed at combating neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In a new study, researchers discovered a new way to enhance the body’s antioxidant response, which is crucial for cellular protection against the oxidative stress […]

Study pinpoints APOE4’s harmful effect on lipids

UNC School of Medicine researcher Sarah Cohen, PhD, and Ian Windham, a former PhD student from the Cohen lab, have made a new discovery about apolipoprotein E (APOE) – the biggest genetic risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease. Older people who inherited a genetic variant called APOE4 from their parents have a two- or three-times […]

Adults with PTSD have smaller cerebellums, study reveals

Adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have smaller cerebellums, according to new research from a Duke-led brain imaging study. The cerebellum, a part of the brain well known for helping to coordinate movement and balance, can influence emotion and memory, which are impacted by PTSD. What isn’t known yet is whether a smaller cerebellum predisposes […]

Landmark study confirms five key Parkinson’s Disease variants in largest meta-analysis

A recent Npj Parkinson’s Disease study analyzed rare Parkinson’s disease (PD) variants in a large-scale cohort. Study: Analysis of rare Parkinson’s disease variants in millions of people. Image Credit: Chinnapong/Shutterstock.com Background PD is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra. The manifestation of this disease has been associated with a combination of factors, i.e., aging, […]

The secret to human brain’s learning efficiency revealed

Researchers from the MRC Brain Network Dynamics Unit and Oxford University’s Department of Computer Science have set out a new principle to explain how the brain adjusts connections between neurons during learning. This new insight may guide further research on learning in brain networks and may inspire faster and more robust learning algorithms in artificial […]

Cryo-EM reveals TAF15 as potential treatment target for frontotemporal dementia

An international team of researchers including experts at the Indiana University School of Medicine has identified a protein found in the brains of people with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), discovering a new target for potential treatments for the disease. According to the National Institutes of Health, FTD results from damage to neurons in the frontal and […]

Stem-cell-derived brain cells hold promise for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s research

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison have identified a protein key to the development of a type of brain cell believed to play a role in disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases and used the discovery to grow the neurons from stem cells for the first time. The stem-cell-derived norepinephrine neurons of the type found […]

Study upends common belief in what triggers Parkinson’s disease

A new Northwestern Medicine study challenges a common belief in what triggers Parkinson’s disease. Degeneration of dopaminergic neurons is widely accepted as the first event that leads to Parkinson’s. But the new study suggests that a dysfunction in the neuron’s synapses -; the tiny gap across which a neuron can send an impulse to another […]

Sulfate groups on complex sugar molecules affect brain plasticity

Can you recognize someone you haven’t seen in years, but forget what you had for breakfast yesterday? Our brains constantly rearrange their circuitry to remember familiar faces or learn new skills, but the molecular basis of this process isn’t well understood. Today, scientists report that sulfate groups on complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) affect […]

Intensive exercise slows the course of Parkinson’s disease, study finds

Neuroscientists from the Faculty of Medicine of the Catholic University, Rome Campus, and the A. Gemelli IRCCS Polyclinic Foundation found that intensive exercise could slow the course of Parkinson’s disease and described the biological mechanisms. The finding could pave the way for new non-drug approaches. The study “Intensive exercise ameliorates motor and cognitive symptoms in […]
