Researchers have uncovered a potential method for interrupting the misfolding of tau protein that underlies neurodegenerative disease.

New research suggests that constant stress triggered by clumping proteins kills brain cells rather than the clumps themselves.

An electrical method allows researchers to observe and analyze the dynamics of a brain protein that underlies diseases like Alzheimer's.

"...manipulating the gut microbiome could be a way to have an effect on the brain without putting anything directly into the brain."

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown genetic cause of the neurodegenerative disease late-onset cerebellar ataxia.

The shape of certain proteins in spinal fluid may be a sign of Parkinson's disease, according to new research.

New findings about a key molecule's role in axon death may lead to new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases, researchers say.

Epigenetic changes linked to Parkinson's disease are different in men and women, according to a new postmortem analysis of brain neurons.

Mental disorders may increase risk for subsequent dementia, researchers find. Investing in good mental health care for young people could help.

A repurposed ADHD medication that boosts norepinephrine levels could stall neurodegeneration in people with early signs of Alzheimer’s disease.
