The dSlo2 channel appears to play a role in suppressing hyperactivity in the brain that causes epileptic seizures.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Immune Cells in the Brain Play Key Role in Relationship Between Gut Microbes and Amyloid Beta Deposits
Microglia, a key immune cell in the brain, appears to mediate the relationship between the gut microbiome and amyloid-beta deposits in male mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Targeting the Brain’s Immune Cells May Help Prevent Alzheimer’s Disease
A drug currently being tested in cancer clinical trials appears to prevent dysfunction in an immune cell signaling pathway associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Blocking the pathway could prevent Alzheimer’s from developing and slow the progression of s…

Amateur boxers, specifically those who boxed during their youth, are twice as likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease than those who didn’t.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Why Some People Experience Early Onset Neurodegenerative Diseases
A new study sheds light on the genetic causes of a range of neurodegenerative disorders, including ALS, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease, and determines factors that impact the age of onset as well as disease severity.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Potential Cause of Alzheimer’s Discovered
The form in which isomers take can increase the risk of developing dementia, researchers report. Drugs in development to improve autophagy may help prevents Alzheimer’s from developing.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Research Team Develops Precise Brain Surgery to Remove Diseased Cells Without a Scalpel
Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method to remove dysfunctional brain circuitry and surgically treat neurological conditions. The technique, called PING, uses focused ultrasound combined with microbubbles to penetrate the blood-brain barr…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Exercise May Reduce Brain Inflammation, Reducing the Risk of Alzheimer’s
Physical activity appears to reduce microglial activation and improve cognition in the aging human brain, researchers report.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: New Framework for Analyzing Alzheimer’s Disease Identifies Not One Form, but Three
A new framework reveals Alzheimer’s disease is far more complex than previously believed. Rather than being a disease where the same causes produce the same outcomes, researchers found three different models for the disease, each with its own character…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Decluttering May Not Help People With Dementia
Findings suggest people with moderate Alzheimer’s disease perform better at daily tasks when surrounded by their usual clutter.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Drug Designed for Alzheimer’s Disease May Hold Promise for Treating Glioblastoma
A class of drugs called BACE1 inhibitors, originally designed to treat Alzheimer’s disease, shows potential for the treatment of glioblastoma brain cancer.
