How the Gut Influences Neurological Diseases

Neuroscience NewsMay 16, 2018

Researchers examine the role gut bacteria plays in the development of neurological disorders. Using mouse models of multiple sclerosis, researchers found compounds generated from the breakdown of tryptophan can cross the blood-brain barrier and activate anti-inflammatory pathways that limit neurodegeneration. Activation of these pathway have also been linked to Alzheimer's and brain cancers.... Read More...

Study Challenges Conventional Belief About Origins of Multiple Sclerosis

Neuroscience NewsMay 8, 2018

A new study challenges conventional thought on the origins of multiple sclerosis. Researchers say biochemical injury to myelin appears to trigger an immune response that leads to additional damage as a result of inflammation. The new theory challenges the view that MS is primarily at autoimmune disease at origin.... Read More...
