But, as it turns out, there are also some positive sides to the inflammation, and it can actually help the brain to self-repair. “This is in total contrast to our previous beliefs”, says Professor Zaal Kokaia fro

The aggregation of the protein Amyloid-beta (Abeta) into plaques outside the nerve cells has been recognized in patients with Alzheimer’s disease since 1905. But eliminating the plaques has not helped patients so far. Still, Tomas Roos thinks that Abeta matters, but we may need to focus on the aggregates elsewhere. On February 17, he defends his thesis about prion-like proteins in neurodegeneratio

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. In order to drive a car, you need a good balance between accelerator and brake. The same applies to a part of the brain – the striatum - that controls our movements. Research at Lund University in Sweden has led to new findings on the interaction between the “accelerator” and the “brake” in the striatum. These finding

Almost half of all dementia cases may be associated with modifiable factors such as smoking and high blood pressure. At the same time, some risk factors are built into our biology, such as age, sex, and genetics. But dementia is not a single disease, rather symptom of multiple underlying disorders. Therefore, risk factor profiles for various dementia subtypes are likely to vary. A new study highli

New data by the research infrastructure ICOS confirms that natural carbon sinks such as the ocean and forests are not stable. Climate change makes these sinks more vulnerable, in some cases even turning them into carbon emitters. This compromises current climate targets and action plans, reserachers say.
