It has been described as a historical “turning point” in Alzheimer’s treatment - the first time a chemical has been found that can halt the death of brain tissue in a neurodegenerative disease, and could…
A zinc shortage in cells decreases protein stability, leading proteins to lose their shape, stop working and clump together…
For every medical condition, treatments are most effective when measurement guides the choice of therapy and its effects. Just think of diabetes, where blood glucose levels guide the choice of treatment…
The change to a structure of a protein molecule may be linked to the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, researchers at the University…
Neurological disorders can have a devastating impact on the lives of sufferers and their families. Symptoms of these disorders differ extensively - from motor dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease, memory…
Up to 50% of Parkinson’s disease sufferers experience a severe drop in blood pressure after eating. Researchers from the…
The human brain is the location of personality, emotion, learning and wisdom in a unique individual. It contains 100 billion nerve cells – roughly the same number as there are galaxies in the observable…
Researchers may have developed a simple blood test for Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease and Mad Cow disease. Scientists used newly…
The development of new technology could change treatment methods for people with speech and language disorders resulting…
A previous study found that individuals with diabetes had double the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease, and that the…
There’s this gene that about half of all people carry. It’s a pretty nasty gene – it massively increases the risk of the carrier being a murderer or a murder victim, going to jail or dying in an accident…
Parkinson’s disease was not always known by this name. Almost 200 years ago in 1817, when English doctor James Parkinson first described the disease, he called it Shaking Palsy. But Parkinson’s disease…
Researchers have developed a new way to detect Parkinson’s disease in it’s early stages. While there is no cure, there are…
Australian scientists have developed a new technique using stem cells, in the hope to replace damaged cells in Parkinson’s…
Welcome to part five of _On the brain, a Conversation series by people whose job it is to know as much as there is to know about the body’s most complex organ. Here, Lachlan Thompson, head of the Neurogenesis…
Welcome to part two of _On the brain, a Conversation series by people whose job it is to know as much as there is to know about the body’s most complex organ. Here, Malcolm Horne, deputy director of the…
People hospitalised for abuse of methamphetamines like crystal meth or ice have a 76% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease compared to those with no drug addiction, a study has found. Parkinson’s…
Mathematical models can be used to improve the quality of life for patients with Parkinson’s disease. The models are used…
Researchers have found a new way to help Parkinson’s disease patients by using a simulated virtual reality environment to…
