Immune system may mount an attack in Parkinson's disease
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) A new study suggests that T cells, which help the body's immune system recognize friend from foe, may play an important role in Parkinson's disease. The study, published in the journal Nature, was supported by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, part of the National Institutes of Health.

Predicting cognitive deficits in people with Parkinson's disease
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Parkinson's disease is commonly thought of as a movement disorder, but after years of living with the disease, approximately 25 percent of patients also experience deficits in cognition that impair function. A newly developed research tool may help predict a patient's risk for developing dementia and could enable clinical trials aimed at finding treatments to prevent the cognitive effects of the disease.

Head injuries can alter hundreds of genes and lead to serious brain diseases
(University of California - Los Angeles) Head injuries can adversely affect hundreds of genes in the brain that put people at high risk for diseases including Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, post-traumatic stress disorder, stroke, ADHD, autism, depression and schizophrenia, UCLA life scientists report. The researchers have identified for the first time potential master genes which they believe control hundreds of other genes that are linked to many neurological and psychiatric disorders.

New understanding of brain plasticity may lead to novel treatment approaches
(Mary Ann Liebert, Inc./Genetic Engineering News) A growing understanding of the highly 'plastic,' changeable nature of the brain -- from the level of DNA, proteins, neuronal connections and networks, up to communication across brain regions -- is driving the development of new therapeutic approaches to treat chronic pain, stroke, Parkinson's disease, and a variety of other disorders described in an article in Alternative and Complementary Therapies.

Researchers examine how Parkinson's disease alters brain activity over time
(NIH/National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke) Neuroscientists peered into the brains of patients with Parkinson's disease and two similar conditions to see how their neural responses changed over time. The study, funded by the NIH's Parkinson's Disease Biomarkers Program and published in Neurology, may provide a new tool for testing experimental medications aimed at alleviating symptoms and slowing the rate at which the diseases damage the brain.
