Further Evidence World Trade Center Responders Are at Risk for Dementia

First responders at the World Trade Center have reduced cortical gray matter thickness, which was consistent with neurodegenerative conditions and evidence their brain age is, on average, ten years older than those of similar ages in the general population. Read More

Alzheimer’s Protein in Blood Indicates Early Brain Changes

Blood samples taken from people enrolled in an Alzheimer's research study revealed higher levels of phosphorylated tau 217 that correlated with the presence of amyloid plaques. People with amyloid in their brains had up to three times more of the tau protein in their blood than those who had no evidence of amyloid accumulation. The higher levels of the protein were evident even in people with no signs of cognitive decline. Read More

Common Characteristics of Rare Pediatric Brain Tumors Identified

Researchers have identified specific characteristics of vestibular schwannomas in children. While children have similar symptoms of the brain tumors as experienced by adults, the tumor size was typically larger in pediatric patients at the time of diagnosis. Read More

Neural Vulnerability in Huntington’s Disease Tied to Release of Mitochondrial RNA

In both human cell and mouse models of Huntington's disease, RNA from mitochondria was misplaced within spiny projection neurons. The stray RNAs, which looked different to cells than RNA derived from the cell nucleus, trigger an immune reaction that can lead to striatal cell type vulnerability. Read More
