Researchers may have solved one of the great mysteries of neuroscience; namely, why neurons in the temporal lobe are the first to die in Alzheimer's disease, and why dopaminergic neurons are damaged first in Parkinson's. Read More
Researchers reveal social activity and the activity of dopaminergic neurons contribute to individuality in mice. Read More
Zebrafish study reveals how key dopaminergic neurons, which are damaged as a result of Parkinson's disease, can be regenerated. Researchers report the immune system plays a critical role in the process. Read More
The effect music has on people may be genetically determined by dopamine functionality, a new study reports. Read More
A new discovery into the molecular origins of Parkinson's disease could provide new avenues for treatment and prevention of the disease. Read More
Long-term aim is to develop new treatments to block the spread of damaged proteins in the brain. Van Andel Institute... Read More
Researchers may be able to affect what fruit flies eat by controlling neurons that regulate protein hunger. Read More
Researchers report on how new advances in stem cell biology and genetic engineering could be beneficial in developing new treatments for Parkinson's disease. Read More
A new study shows a complex set of overlapping neuronal circuits works in concert to drive temperature preferences in the fruit fly Drosophila by affecting a single target, a heavy bundle of neurons within the fly brain known as the mushroom body. These nerve bundles play critical roles in learning and memory. Read More
A new study reports the combination of a toxic herbicide and lectins may trigger Parkinsonism after the toxins travel from the stomach to the brain. Read More
