Researchers report many PV defects could have their origin, not during adult life, but instead in the SST templates that set circuit parameters in the first place.
A new study reports the combination of a toxic herbicide and lectins may trigger Parkinsonism after the toxins travel from the stomach to the brain.
Researchers report they have discovered tiny magnetic nanoparticles from air pollution lodged in the human brain. They believe these nanoparticles could contribute to some cases of Alzheimer's.
A new study reports sleep can help clear brain molecules associated with neurodegeneration.
Researchers have identified a new active botulinum neurotoxin. The discovery could lead to the development of new protein therapeutics.
Perineuronal nets (PNNs) and the neurons they enmesh can be damaged by poor diets. Excessive consumption of foods high in saturated fats and refined sugars cause inflammation and oxidative stress, resulting in cognitive decline and poor memory.
Exposure to air pollution in urban areas could trigger a toxic response in neurons and impact pathways associated with neurodegenerative diseases, researchers report.
A new study reports researchers have identified a possible new avenue for treating Parkinson's symptoms and neuropathology. Clearing senescent astrocytes appears to help prevent sporadic versions of the disease triggered by exposure to pesticides.
A new method of growing neural networks from stem cells is capable of detecting the activity of Clostridium botulinum neurotoxins and could help to minimize animal research.
Researchers have found high concentrations of neurotoxins linked to Alzheimer's disease in the fins and muscles of 10 species of sharks. One of the toxins also has been found in shark fin and shark cartilage supplements.
A new study reports on increased risk of cognitive impairment in people who were subjected to chronic low dose exposure to certain environmental contaminants.
According to researchers, the baby teeth of children with autism contain higher concentrations of toxic lead, and less manganese and zinc that children who are not on the spectrum.
