Researchers have decoded the 3D structure of the Huntingtin protein. The discovery may help develop new treatments for Huntington's disease.
Rockefeller University researchers reveal Huntington's neurons are much larger than healthy cells.
A new study reveals a commonality in gene activity related to the same immune response and inflammatory pathways in the brains of patients with Parkinson's and Huntington's disease.
A study to be published in eNeuro reports scheduled feeding times improved motor activity, sleep quality and quality of life in mouse models of Huntington's disease.
Researchers report a blink reflexometer may help doctors to diagnose neurological problems, from TBI to Parkinson's disease, in patients.
UCL researchers report clinical trials of IONIS-HTTRx have shown success in reducing the huntinting protein in the nervous system of those with Huntington's disease. The drug is safe and well tolerated by human patients, the researchers note.
A build up of urea in the brain to toxic levels may cause brain damage, eventually leading to dementia, a new study reports.
University of Cambridge researchers report sheep can be trained to recognize different faces from photographs and can identify their handler in a photo without prior training.
Researchers report worms can learn to activate a defense mechanism that protects cells from damage.
Researchers have identified genes that contribute to autophagy. The findings shed light on the origins of the aging process and provide evidence that aging arises as a quirk of evolution.
According to researchers, people with the APOE4 gene have a 20% increased risk of developing depression as they age.
Findings may explain how neurodegenerative diseases spread throughout the brain and disrupt normal functions. Additionally, treatment for one disease could possibly work for the other two also.
