Implications of expansion of Alzheimer's biomarker testing for patients, families and poli

Advances in research have identified biomarker tests that make it possible to detect signs of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease years before symptoms appear, creating new opportunities for earlier intervention—and new questions for clinicians, patients and

Brain's immune cells put the brakes on out-of-control circuits in mouse model of Alzheimer

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have discovered that microglia—the main immune cells of the brain—play a critical role in maintaining the stability of neuronal networks in Alzheimer's disease. Crucially, this suggests treatments that indiscriminately suppress these cells co

Drug candidate could help L-dopa work better for patients with Parkinson's

For many people with Parkinson's disease, the body stops moving the way it used to. A hand may tremble at rest. Muscles may stiffen. Walking can become slower and balance more uncertain. The most effective treatment remains L-dopa, also called levodopa, a medication that can dram
