The SERPINA5 was strongly correlated with tau tangle progression in the hippocampus and cortex.
Low intensity electrical stimulation to specific brain areas can help to improve short term verbal memory, researchers report.
A global knockout of the thrombin receptor PAR1 accelerates myelin development. The findings could help with the development of treatments for diseases associated with demyelination, like multiple sclerosis.
Researchers have identified an association between antibiotics administered to children aged two and under, and an increased risk of ongoing conditions ranging from ADHD to obesity. Children exposed to numerous courses of antibiotics as toddlers were more likely to be diagnosed with continuous conditions later in childhood.

Cardiorespiratory exercise improves gray matter volume in areas of the brain associated with age-related cognitive decline. The findings add weight to the previous studies which link physical activity to neuroprotection against age-related cognitive decline.
The sensitivity of current RT-PCR testing for COVID-19 and overall test performance characteristics have not been reported clearly or consistently in medical literature. Researchers say doctors should expect a less visible second wave of coronavirus infections from people with false-negative test results.
A new study reveals how LMO1 works wih the MYCN gene to fuel the spread of neuroblastoma brain cancer.
Compared to players of other varsity sports, researchers did not identify an increased risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases in people who played high school football between 1956 and 1970.
