Researchers report inorganic phosphate, an additive and preservative used in up to 70% of foods in the common American diet, may reduce the desire and ability to exercise. Read More
Researchers have successfully neutralized a genetic risk factor found in up to 80% of Alzheimer's patients. The ability to neutralize ApoE4 could help in the development of a vaccine, as well as other therapeutics, for late onset Alzheimer's. Read More
Researchers have identified the exact point at which healthy proteins become toxic in Alzheimer's disease. The findings could help to detect Alzheimer's before the disease progresses and develop treatments to stabilize tau proteins. Read More
Researchers say exercise is crucial to the overall health of those with depression. The study reveals people with higher levels of fitness during middle age were significantly less likely to die from cardiovascular disease, even if they were diagnosed with depression. Read More
Using EEG to measure electrical activity in the brain can help doctors predict a patient's response to antidepressants, a new study reveals. Read More
Researchers report concussions and TBI could increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease at an early age. Read More
UT Southwestern researchers shed light on the link between poor fitness and an increased risk of developing dementia. Researchers report a lower level of fitness is associated with faster deterioration of white matter fibers in the brain. The deterioration can result in cognitive decline and memory problems as a person ages. Read More
In a mouse model of autism, researchers have successfully restored social behavior with the help of brain stimulation. Researchers are now considering if it would be feasible to treat children on the autism spectrum with similar neuromodulation techniques. Read More
Researchers report they have identified potential treatments that could restore brain function in people on the autism spectrum who lack a gene critical for neural connections. Read More
Researchers from UT Southwestern's Cryo-EM Facility have determined the 3D anatomical structure of the TRPML1 ion channel. The ion channel has been implicated in mucolipidosis type IV, a rare, genetic neurodegenerative disease. Read More
Researchers at UT Southwestern report medications used to treat arthritis and lung cancer may help in the battle against glioblastoma. Read More
Researchers investigate how the ARID1B gene may play a role in ASD, intellectual disabilities and Coffin-Siris syndrome. Read More
