How Does Alzheimer’s Disease Develop? New Pathway Found
A second pathway through which Alzheimer’s develops has been discovered after researchers identified a new set of genetic markers for the disease . Most Alzheimer’s genetic research focuses on amyloid-beta, which contributes to the formation of plaques found in the brains of people suffering from Alzheimer’s. In this study, published in the journal Neuron, researchers were able to identify genes …

Parkinson's disease brain rhythms detected: Finding suggests better way to monitor, treat disease with deep brain …
Scientists have discovered how to detect abnormal brain rhythms associated with Parkinson's by implanting electrodes within the brains of people with the disease.
Mysterious Muscle Disorder Rooted in Brain, Study Reveals
A mysterious illness in which people experience painful muscle cramps or paralysis with no apparent physical explanation may be rooted in the brain. New research suggests the brains of such people do in fact function differently from normal brains.

Discovery of molecular pathway of Alzheimer's disease reveals new drug targets
The discovery of the molecular pathway that drives the changes seen in the brains of Alzheimer's patients is reported today, revealing new targets for drug discovery that could be exploited to combat the disease. The study gives the most detailed understanding yet of the complex processes leading to Alzheimer's.
