Microglia cells continuously survey the brain to help prevent sporadic seizures. Read More
Reducing levels of the Alzheimer's related Tau protein prevents autism-like behaviors in mouse models. Tau reduction also prevented seizures in the animals. Read More
Sharp-wave ripple activity in the brain may be an early biomarker for Alzheimer's disease before cognitive impairment begins. Read More
Researchers have identified a potential new biomarker for cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer's disease. The study reports fibrinogen, a blood clotting protein, causes a series of molecular events that may trigger the destruction of connections between neurons, resulting in cognitive decline. Read More
Adding the Nav1.1 protein boosted the activity of interneurons and helped restore brain function in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease, researchers report. Read More
A new study reveals how fast spiking interneurons improve the efficiency of learning a new skill. Read More
According to a Nature study, researchers developed a method to reprogram specific T cells in the immune system. Scientists were able to turn pro-inflammatory cells into anti-inflammatory cells, and vice versa, to boost or suppress the immune system. Researchers believe their findings could have significant impact on developing treatments for autoimmune diseases. Read More
Newly identified neurons in the reticular thalamus could help shed light on the link between seizures and psychiatric disorders such as ADHD and schizophrenia, a new study reports. Read More
V2a interneurons could potentially repair spinal cord injuries, researchers report. Read More
Researchers have identified a common mechanism in both frontotemporal dementia and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Read More
Activating Nrf2 helps with the removal of LRRK2 and alpha synuclein, researchers report. Read More
