Researchers Create New Map of Brain’s Immune System
Researchers have successfully created a new map of the brain's immune system in both mice and humans. The findings suggest microglia all have the same core signatures, but can act differently, depending on their function. The map also details how the brain's immune system changes as multiple sclerosis progresses.... Read More...

New Scan Technique Reveals Neuroinflammation Associated with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome
A new neuroimaging study reveals 12 people with documented post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome have an elevation of a chemical marker associated with neuroinflammation. The findings could help develop new treatments for the pain, fatigue and brain fog associated with PTLDS.... Read More...
Newly Discovered Immune Cells Play Role in Inflammatory Brain Diseases
Studying animal models, researchers have identified previously unknown types of immune cells that are present in the brains of those with multiple sclerosis. ... Read More...
A New Culprit of Cognitive Decline in Alzheimer’s
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....
