Researchers develop a protein called NAP which protects and restores nerve cell communication in some neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
A new study finds slowdowns in the transport and delivery of proteins, nutrients and signaling molecules within nerve cells could contribute to the development of ALS. Read More
Researchers provide new evidence for the severity of motor, intellectual and speech impairments in Phelan-McDermid Syndrome, a sub-type of autism characterized by a mutation of the SHANK3 gene. Read More
According to a new study, diabetic episodes of hypoglycemia may increase the risk of developing dementia, while having dimentia could increase the risk of experiencing low blood sugar levels. Read More
New research suggests brain circuits which control obsessive compulsive behavior are intertwined with circuits which control food intake and body weight. The findings could have implications for treating obsessive compulsive disorder. Read More
