Myelin Damage Triggers Abnormal Brain Rhythms During Sleep

Demyelination triggers abnormal, epileptiform electrical spikes coupled with Stage 2 NREM sleep spindles and induces a severe slowing of rhythmic REM sleep oscillations, establishing overnight sleep recordings as a non-invasive biomarker for tracking MS and Alzheimer's progression.

Brain Tissue Patterns and Genetics Drive MS Progression

A comprehensive study of 287 MS brain tissue donors from the Netherlands Brain Bank demonstrates that multiple sclerosis progression variability is driven by specific pathological features, such as broad rim lesions and myelin repair failures, which are directly modulated by an individual's genetic background.

Microglia Overloaded with Fat Linked to Rapid MS

Why do some multiple sclerosis patients deteriorate rapidly while others experience mild symptoms for decades? A post-mortem neuro-audit reveals that severe MS progression is linked to "foamy microglia", brain immune cells pathologically overloaded with fat droplets.

AI Links Brain Rhythms to Physical “Wiring” Across Lifespan

A study of 1,965 people aged 5–100 reveals that brain wave speed is dictated by the brain's physical wiring. The new Xi–αNET model shows that slowing alpha waves are a direct marker of declining white matter in aging.
