Stimulating excitatory neurons in the caudal pedunculopontine nucleus of the brain improved the walking abilities of mice that showed Parkinson’s Disease symptoms. In 2016, there were 6.1 million...
Damage to a region in the midbrain correlates with basal ganglia dysfunction and poor sequencing performance in Parkinson’s disease. For many of us, engaging in a conversation and scheduling our...
Scientists have discovered small apoptotic bodies that can be loaded with drugs and cross the blood-brain barrier, bringing new promise to combat cerebrovascular diseases. Cell death and cancer may...
Researchers review the methods and application of light therapy in the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases. With the advancement of neurobiology, the pathogenesis of several neurodegenerative...
A new Singapore study suggests that patients who carry the gene for neuronal intranuclear inclusion body disease may also present with symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and respond to Parkinson’s...
Researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai, China have developed three different techniques that successfully replace almost all malfunctioning microglia - each technique with its own advantage in...
In 1909, German Neurologist, Korbinian Brodmann created one of the earliest known maps of the surface of the human brain. Named after the neurologist himself, Brodmann’s areas were 52 identified...
Recent genetic studies on Parkinson’s disease in Asian-ancestry individuals have demonstrated important differences in genetic risk between Asians and Europeans. Extensive collaborations across the...
Singapore research team discover two new gene loci in Asians that contribute to increased risk of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a common age related neurodegenerative disorder...
