Knight Initiative researchers are investigating the detailed processes behind how the brain learns to control movement. Their discoveries may eventually lead to improved therapies for Parkinson’s disease. Every motor skill you acquire, from simple Read More
Excess fat in brain immune cells weakens defenses against Alzheimer’s. Blocking fat storage restored their ability to fight disease. For many years, scientists believed that fat in the brain had little connection to neurodegenerative Read More
Illusions activate specific neurons in the primary visual cortex that complete patterns based on experiences and reinforce the perception of certain images. Summary Illusions exploit the brain’s pattern-completion mechanisms within the primary visual cortex. Read More

High-Fiber Diet Eases Alzheimer’s Symptoms by Calming Gut-Brain Axis, Study
Feeding the animals a high fiber diet reduced Alzheimer ’s-related frailty, including tremors. The gut houses the body’s largest population of immune cells. A new study from the Buck Institute has revealed that in Read More
Sleep may enhance the brain’s ability to remove harmful waste. Poor or disrupted sleep could raise dementia risk. The brain possesses its own system for removing waste, known as the glymphatic system, which is Read More
Signals are processed only if they reach the brain during brief receptive cycles. This timing mechanism explains how attention filters information and may inform therapies and brain-inspired technologies. It has long been recognized that the Read More
Scientists have uncovered how rogue DNA rings may help spark glioblastoma at its earliest stages. An international research team has shown that rogue rings of DNA that exist outside chromosomes, called extrachromosomal DNA, or ecDNA, Read More
Parasitic worms that infect moose can spread to livestock and other animals. A new antibody-based test can diagnose infections early and help control outbreaks. Summary A new antibody test offers an early detection method Read More
Scientists at Gladstone Institutes uncovered a surprising reason why dopamine-producing neurons, crucial for smooth body movements, die in Parkinson’s disease. In mice, when these neurons were kept overactive for weeks, they began to falter, Read More
