Microglia immune cells can join together to form networks when needed, a new study reports. However, certain mutations associated with Parkinson's disease can impair this process.
Study reveals the molecular mechanisms implicated in the regulation of toxic proteins in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
Study suggests seven compensation strategies to help those with Parkinson's disease improve mobility and walking problems.
A new study on aging reveals a surprising discovery about the connection between protein shape and mitochondrial health.
Significant Proportion of People With Parkinson’s Disease Struggle With Instruction-Based Learning
Study reports a significant number of people with Parkinson's disease have precise deficits when learning from instructions. Researchers say the problems are associated with differences in brain function.

A new small-scale study reveals transcranial direct current stimulation improved gait and increased the benefits of aerobic exercise in Parkinson's patients.
Like humans, zebra finches can recognize songs by their rhythmic pattern, even when the tempo is changed.
New studies have identified an association between daily high coffee consumption, brain shrinkage and an increased risk of dementia. However, researchers were unable to identify a causal relationship between caffeine consumption and dementia. The study also found moderate coffee consumption was associated with lower dementia risk than high consumption, or abstaining from caffeinated drinks.
A new mouse line makes the state of protein balance visible in the mammalian brain for the first time, allowing researchers to investigate disorders associated with protein misfolding.
Researchers have developed a new technique to quantify protein droplets associated with a range of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and ALS.
An experimental small molecule helped restore the removal of mitochondria from dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. The findings may help in the development of new therapies for Parkinson's disease.
