Genetic Markers ID Second Alzheimer's Pathway
April 4, 2013 — Researchers have identified a new set of genetic markers for Alzheimer's disease that point to a second pathway through which the disease ... > full story -
Laser Light Zaps Away Cocaine Addiction
April 3, 2013 — By stimulating one part of the brain with laser light, researchers have shown that they can wipe away addictive behavior in rats -- or conversely turn non-addicted rats into compulsive cocaine ... > full story -
Epileptic Seizures Can Propagate Using Functional Brain Networks
April 2, 2013 — The seizures that affect people with temporal-lobe epilepsy usually start in a region of the brain called the hippocampus. But they are often able to involve other areas outside the temporal lobe, ... > full story -
Vitamin P as a Potential Approach for the Treatment of Damaged Motor Neurons
April 2, 2013 — Biologists in Germany have explored how to protect neurons that control movements from dying off. In a new paper, they report that the molecule 7,8-Dihydroxyflavone, also known as vitamin P, ensures ... > full story -
3-D Stem Cell Culture Technique Developed to Better Understand Alzheimer's Disease
April 2, 2013 — A team of researchers has developed a technique to produce three-dimensional cultures of induced pluripotent stem cells called embryoid bodies, amenable to live cell imaging and to electrical ... > full story -
'RNA Sponge' Mechanism May Cause ALS/FTD Neurodegeneration
April 1, 2013 — The most common genetic cause of both ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and FTD (frontotemporal dementia) was recently identified as an alteration in the gene C9orf72. But how the mutation causes ... > full story -
Personalized Brain Mapping Technique Preserves Function Following Brain Tumor Surgery
April 1, 2013 — In a new paper, researchers review research showing that this ability to visualize relevant white matter tracts during glioma resection surgeries can improve ... > full story -
Shedding Light on Early Parkinson's Disease Pathology
April 1, 2013 — In a mouse model of early Parkinson's disease (PD), animals displayed movement deficits, loss of tyrosine-hydroxylase (TH)-positive fibers in the striatum, and astro-gliosis and micro-gliosis in the ... > full story -

New Clues About How Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Develops
March 31, 2013 — Scientists say they have evidence from animal studies that a type of central nervous system cell other than motor neurons plays a fundamental role in the development of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ... > full story -
Parkinson's Disease Protein Gums Up Garbage Disposal System in Cells
March 28, 2013 — With a new neuron model system of Parkinson's disease pathologies, researchers have demonstrated that these aberrant clumps in cells resist degradation as well as impair the function of the ... > full story
