Hidden brain changes found to be common in people with a range of heart conditions

A new analysis involving over 13,000 people has found changes to blood vessels in the brain that can increase the risk of stroke and dementia are common in people with a range of heart conditions, regardless of whether they have experienced a stroke.

Study shows cellular, molecular overlaps in ALS and FTLD

On the surface, the movement disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and the cognitive disorder frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), which underlies frontotemporal dementia, manifest in very different ways. In addition, they are known to primarily affect very different regions of the brain.

Researchers develop the world's first 3D-printed "brain phantom"

In a joint project between MedUni Vienna and TU Wien, the world's first 3D-printed "brain phantom" has been developed, which is modeled on the structure of brain fibers and can be imaged using a special variant of magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI).

Investigational gene therapy shows promise for rare childhood neurodegenerative disease

An investigational gene therapy for a rare neurodegenerative disease that begins in early childhood, known as giant axonal neuropathy (GAN), was well tolerated and showed signs of therapeutic benefit in a clinical trial led by the National Institutes of Health.

Skin biopsy test shows promise in diagnosing Parkinson's disease and synucleinopathies

In a paper published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), neurologists at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) showed that a simple skin biopsy test detects an abnormal form of alpha-synuclein, the pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease and the subgroup of neurodegenerative disorders known as synucleinopathies, at high positivity rates.

Ketogenic diet delays the early stages of Alzheimer's-related memory loss in mice

A new study from researchers at the University of California, Davis, shows a ketogenic diet significantly delays the early stages of Alzheimer's-related memory loss in mice.

New fluid biomarker may one day detect ALS and FTD before symptoms appear

Two progressively degenerative diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD, recently in the news with the diagnoses of actor Bruce Willis and talk show host Wendy Williams), are linked by more than the fact that they both damage nerve cells critical to normal functioning -; the former affecting nerves in the brain and spinal cord leading to loss of movement, the latter eroding the brain regions controlling personality, behavior and language.

Mouse models shed light on the effects of metformin use during pregnancy on offspring

With the rise in gestational diabetes and metabolic disorders during pregnancy, metformin is also being prescribed more frequently.

Global health burden of neurological conditions is much greater than previously understood, study reveals

Globally, the number of people living with, or dying from, neurological conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, and meningitis has risen substantially over the past 30 years due to the growth and ageing of the global population as well as increased exposure to environmental, metabolic, and lifestyle risk factors.
