Performing post-mortem staging of the brains and spinal cord tissue of patients with ALS, researchers discover the neurodegenerative disease could progress from one start point in the CNS to other regions of the brain and spinal cord.
Researchers report some with Parkinson's disease could have a form of impaired decision making that may contribute to the movement problems associated with the disease.
A new study reports on how ischemic stroke can cause long term damage to the blood-spinal cord barrier.
Researchers implicate a variant in the UBQLN4 gene as a possible cause of ALS. The variant disrupts cellular processes that drive motor neuron development.
Researchers report they have identified a molecular defect in motor neurons which could help explain the mechanisms underlying ALS.
A new study reveals three new genes associated with ALS. One of the genes, C21orf2, could increase a person's risk of developing ALS by 65 percent.
A new study sheds light on key aspects of nervous system development.
A new study reports long term memories might not be stored in synapses, as was previously thought.
When a motor neuron-specific pool of heat shock protein 90 (Hps90) was inhibited, motor neuron apoptosis was triggered.
Researchers pinpoint an error in protein formation which could be the root of ALS.
Researchers report the C9ORF72 genetic mutation can lead to toxicity in neurons, causing 10 percent of all ALS cases and 10 percent of FTD cases.
Findings from a new ALS study provide a novel therapeutic target for the disease.
