Researchers have developed a new method that allows them to see how astrocytes influence neural communication in real time.
Gene expressions in the brain that occur early in development may explain why some cerebellar stem cell populations behave differently in people with SCA1, researchers report.
Restricting access to food within a strict time frame stimulates autophagy and lowers levels of the huntingtin protein in the brain, a new mouse study reveals.
A new study reports researchers have developed a new gene editing approach that may provide a new treatment avenue for Huntington's disease.
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.
