A new phenomenon in the brain that could explain the development of early stages of neurodegeneration has been discovered which could lead to a future target for drug therapies for ALS.
Researchers have discovered an enzyme that blocks a genetic pathway that causes Parkinson’s, which could be used as a treatment in the future.
Researchers have compiled images to create the first detailed 3D models of astrocytes, which could be used in the development of therapeutics to aid their function.
A group of researchers has found that tau misfolding is not harmful in itself, but instead the cellular processes its affects kills neurons.
A new study has linked an inflammatory protein to impaired memory mechanisms which could lead towards finding a more effective treatment for Alzheimer's.
Researchers have discovered a pathway that causes behavioural abnormalities and other hallmarks of autism; they also revealed how to silence this and reverse the symptoms in mice.
The new research shows that astrocytes contribute to Huntington’s disease symptoms, but suppressing a mutation stops the disease from progressing.
New findings on dementia reveal that brain atrophy spreads via connected brain networks, rather than simply adjacent areas of the brain.
Microglia brain immune cells are vital in conjunction with the APOE4 gene during the development of Alzheimer’s in mouse models, researchers have found.
A new study has shown the possibility of using RNA splicing as a potential molecular target for Alzheimer's disease.
These findings highlight the complexity of the relationship between genes and human brain function.
The mechanism in the brain connecting chronic pain and depression could lead to treatments for both, according to researchers.
Researchers have created a new technology which enabled them to discover more about the causes of Huntington’s disease and which can be used to test drugs.
A study has found a protein which, when depleted, resulted in Alzheimer’s disease symptoms appearing in mouse and brain tissue models.
Researchers have developed a new treatment method which turned glial cells into functioning neurons in mice after stroke.
