          Defective Glial Cells Can Push Neurons Toward Parkinson’s Disease

          A new study reveals a defective version of astrocytes may be linked to the build up of alpha synuclein and could spur Parkinson's disease. The findings show the important role glial cells play in Parkinson's and offers insights into new targets for therapies to fight the neurodegenerative disease.

          Explaining the Link Between Sleep and Alzheimer’s

          A new study published in brain reveals that just one night of sleep disruption causes an increase in amyloid beta in the brains of healthy, middle aged people. A full week of sleep disturbances leads to a build up of Tau, another protein associated with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The study sheds light on why poor sleep has previously been associated with the development of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
