Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. Here is the latest research on neuroimaging modalities, including magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography, in AD.

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. This feed focuses on the underlying role of Tau proteins and TAR DNA-binding protein 43, as well as other genetic factors, in Alzheimer's.

Alpha-synuclein is an integral component of Lewy bodies which are comprised of protein clumps and are a pathological hallmark of Parkinson’s disease. Here is the latest research.

Amyloid beta is a peptide that is a major component of plaques in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Accumulation induces neurotoxic effects including oxidative damage and mitochondrial dysfunction. Amyliod plaques are being studied as a drug target in the treatment of AD. Here is the latest research on amyloid beta deposition and degradation.

Cavernous hemangioma is a blood vessel defect or benign tumor that leads to leakage of blood to the surrounding tissues. This can occur in several organs including the brain, which can lead to seizures. Discover the latest research on cavernous hemangiomas here.

Torsion dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by loss of control of voluntary movements appearing as sustained muscle contractions and/or abnormal postures. Here is the latest research.

Protein misfolding is the primary cause of several neurodegenerative disease, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Here is the latest research.

Prions are misfolded proteins which characterize several fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Prion proteins, as an important biomarker of prion disease, are responsible for the transmissible spongiform encephalopathies. Here is the latest research investigating biomarkers in prion diseases.

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease which can be studied using various experimental systems. This feed focuses on animal models used for Alzheimer's disease research.

RNA regulation involves several mechanisms that are used by cells to decreases or increase the production of RNA. Issues with RNA regulation are associated with Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to RNA regulation and this disease.

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. Discover genetic and epigenetic aspects of Alzheimer’s disease, including genetic markers and genomic structural variations here.

Alzheimer's disease is a chronic neurodegenerative disease. This feed focuses on early diagnosis and early markers, as well as environmental, pharmacological, and drug-response biomarkers associated with this disease.

Frontotemporal lobar degeneration or frontotemporal dementia refers to a group of uncommon disorders that occur as a result of progressive nerve cell loss in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain. Here is the latest research.

Tau vaccination and administration of anti-tau antibodies can prevent pathology and cognitive impairment in transgenic mouse models of tauopathy, suggesting that therapies which increase anti-tau antibodies might slow the development and/or progression of tauopathies including Alzheimer's disease. Here is the latest research.

Olivopontocerebellar atrophy (OPCA) refers to neurodegeneration of the inferior olivary nucleus, pons, and the cerebellum, and is characterized by cerebellar ataxia and other neurological problems. Here is the latest research.

Tau toxicity has been implicated in the emergence of synaptic dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease. Here is the latest research on Tau Toxicity in the Synapses.

Prions are misfolded proteins which characterize several fatal neurodegenerative diseases. Distinct prion strains are associated with different prion protein conformations and glycosylation patterns and associate with disease progression and severity. Here is the latest research on strain diversity and neurotoxicity in prion diseases.

The relationship between astrocytes and amyloid has been suggested in some neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. Neuronal damage stimulates the activation of reactive astrocytes, which may the source of amyloid that forms in Alzheimer’s. Here is the latest research on astrocytes and amyloid.

Understanding genetic influences on neuronal aging can guide potential therapies to slow age-related cognitive decline and other age-related neurological disorders. Discover the latest research on neurogenetics in aging here.
