A neuroimaging study of people with Down syndrome reveals subtle differences in the structure and function of the hippocampus. Read More
A previously unknown gene and associated protein have been linked to the development of Alzheimer's disease. By suppressing the protein, named Aggergatin by the researchers, it may be possible to slow down or prevent the development of the neurodegenerative disease. Read More
Researchers used the HoloLense software to create an interactive holographic mapping system for axonal pathways in the human brain. Read More
Researchers say the 4.5 million-year old fossil shows evidence of greater reliance on bipedalism than previously suggested. Read More
Researchers have identified three regions in the genome where significant genetic differences between the sexes exist. These differences also varied by cancer type. The findings suggest specific genetic tests tailored to the different sexes could help assess cancer risks. Read More
A new brain cancer atlas maps out comprehensive, visually rich information about the anatomical and genetic bases of glioblastoma, researchers report. Read More
Researchers have successfully created a synthetic version of a human prion, a protein associated with brain wasting diseases like sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. The prions may help shed new light on, and provide treatment options, for those with CJD and other prion related diseases. Read More
Neuregulin 3, a protein elevated in the brains of those with schizophrenia, suppresses a protein complex required for efficient neural communication, researchers report. Read More
Activating neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex can reverse breathing and memory abnormalities in mouse models of Rett syndrome, researchers report. Read More
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that integrates Alzheimer's indicators from MRI measurements to predict patients with the neurodegenerative disease. Read More
A mouse study reveals nerve cells damaged as a result of diabetes may not be repairable due to low levels of specific cytokines. Read More
Researchers report T cells in Parkinson's disease patients respond to alpha synuclein to a greater degree than those without the disease. The Nature study reports four genetic variations are associated with T cell reactivity to alpha synuclein. More than 50% of Parkinson's patients carry at least one of the gene variants. Read More
