Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases are the two most common neurodegenerative disorders, affecting millions of people worldwide. Published in the Journal of Neuroscience, new research from the ...

Researchers from the lab led by Prof. Joris De Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) have discovered an important clue to how connections between brain cells, known as synapses, mature. These new findings, published in ...

Hardingham and his team also showed in vivo that these protective pathways were compromised in instances of acute neuronal damage, such as stroke. Because oxidative damage is known to be a feature of ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to microglia and exposing a critical vulnerability in brain protein maintenance ...

Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is caused by mutations in a specific calcium channel. A comprehensive proteomic study by researchers at the University of Innsbruck now reveals how these ...

A new study from the University of Liverpool represents a significant step forward in scientists’ understanding of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers have shed new light on how mechanical signalling in ...

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University reported yesterday in Nature Neuroscience that they have identified two sets of genes whose decreased expression patterns in key areas of the brain appear to ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
