Parkinson’s Meds Accidentally Trigger Bacteria to “Eat” Levodopa

How does gut bacteria affect Parkinson’s medication? COMT inhibitors trigger the growth of E. faecalis, which metabolizes levodopa before it can reach the brain.

Virtual Hippocampus: Pinpointing Alzheimer’s “Tipping Points”

Researchers are developing a multiscale model of the hippocampus to identify why specific neurons are vulnerable to Alzheimer's. The virtual testbed aims to find therapeutic tipping points before memory loss becomes irreversible.

AI Reveals Loneliness and Insomnia as Risks for Diabetes

A 17-year study using AI "digital twins" reveals that loneliness, insomnia, and poor mental health raise Type 2 diabetes risk by 78% when combined. The model suggests mental health is a stronger predictor than diet.

Brain’s Unique Wiring Determines How Alzheimer’s Spreads

A 10-year study proves that Alzheimer’s tau tangles spread via an individual's unique neural connections. The findings confirm that targeting tau as it travels between synapses could halt the disease's progression.

How Your Neighborhood and Nation Shape Your Brain’s Age

A 34-country study reveals that the "exposome"—the combination of pollution, social inequality, and political context—is 15 times more predictive of brain aging than any single risk factor. The research calls for a shift from individual "lifestyle" advice to broad structural policy changes to protect global brain health.

Alzheimer’s Risk Gene Shrinks Neurons

The APOE4 gene triggers a protein called Nell2, which shrinks neurons and causes brain hyperactivity. Lowering Nell2 levels reversed these effects in mice, offering a new target for early Alzheimer's intervention.

Neurons Lose Their “Adaptability” in Old Age

Researchers are developing a multiscale "neurometabolic" model to track how the brain's energy consumption drives aging and Alzheimer's. The $3.3M project aims to identify metabolic warning signs years before cognitive decline begins.

Brain Circuit That “Invents” Chronic Pain Identified

Neuroscientists have identified a dedicated brain circuit responsible for chronic pain. By silencing this loop, researchers were able to end pain hypersensitivity in mice without affecting their ability to feel necessary, acute pain.

Mono Linked to a Threefold Increase in MS Risk

A study of nearly 19,000 people reveals that a history of infectious mononucleosis (mono) triples the risk of developing Multiple Sclerosis. The findings suggest that preventing Epstein-Barr virus infections could be a key strategy in reducing MS cases.
