Neurology

– These articles focus mainly on neurology research.
– What is neurology?
– Definition of neurology: a science involved in the study of the nervous systems, especially of the diseases and disorders affecting them.
– Neurology research can include information involving brain research, neurological disorders, medicine, brain cancer, peripheral nervous systems, central nervous systems, nerve damage, brain tumors, seizures, neurosurgery, electrophysiology, BMI, brain injuries, paralysis and spinal cord treatments.

Brain Cell Destruction Blocked in Parkinson’s Disease Models with SR-3306

Scientists show that SR-3306 delivered orally to mice and rat models of Parkinson's disease was able to protect brain cells from neurodegeneration. SR-3306 inhibits the c-jun-N-terminal kinases (JNK) class of enzymes, previously shown to play large roles in neuron survival. Read More

Researchers unravel protein mystery of three brain diseases

Researchers have identified two different shapes of alpha-synuclein associated with multiple systems atrophy (MSA) and Lewy body dementia. The structure of the protein is helical in MSA, causing the symptoms to occur more quickly and aggressively. In Lewy body dementia, the protein takes on a cylindrical form. Read More
