In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

New protective pathway: Scientists found that enhancing nicotine-responsive receptors without nicotine preserved dopamine-producing neurons in female Parkinson’s models. Sex-specific effects: The ...

During brain development, neurons can regulate their movement until they reach their final destination thanks to a "molecular ...

As knowledge of the development of neuronal pathways continues to grow, it also elucidates potential treatment modalities for neuronal degenerative diseases and injuries. Molecular and genetic ...

Scientists have identified a protective brain pathway that may help slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

Duke Health researchers found a relationship between immune response and neurological behavior after studying mice with a specific gene mutation, which exhibited signs of ADHD in response to an ...

Female-specific protection: Boosting nicotine‑responsive receptors without nicotine preserved dopamine neurons and reduced degeneration in female Parkinson’s models, with no similar benefit in males.

Overview of the study. Researchers investigated the neural basis of how animals adapt to new environments and situations. To do this, they introduced a chemical ON/OFF switch in the orbitofrontal ...
