This valuable contribution combines high-resolution histology with magnetic resonance imaging in a novel way to study the organisation of the human amygdala. The main findings convincingly show the ...

The National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center (NPDPSC) is the only Center of its kind in the U.S., which coordinates autopsies and neuropathologic examinations of suspected prion disease ...

A technology aims to be a "wearable" device for neurons, wrapping around individual nerve fibers to better study and treat ...

Multiple sclerosis, a neuroinflammatory disease that affects nearly 3 million people worldwide, causes a loss of myelin, the ...

Model developed in study will pave way for more discovery about important but mysterious process Ben Emery, Ph.D., and ...

The brain constantly engages in dialogue with the body's immune system. Such communication appears aimed at ensuring a delicate balance between defending against injury and infection and guarding ...

Researchers have found a process by which the brain guards against attack by the immune system. In mice with multiple sclerosis, such 'guardian' proteins that train the immune system were drastically ...

Myelin Protein Zero (P0) is a major structural component of the myelin sheath in the peripheral nervous system hence, the Schwann cells. A high P0 density is an indicator for remyelination and ...

“Demyelination is a core mechanism of neurodegeneration that has been overlooked in Alzheimer's disease, despite the evidence that it’s a critical element of the disease's pathology ... lead to the ...

Myelin is the protective sheath covering each nerve cell's axon—the threadlike portion of a cell that transmits electrical signals between cells. Damage to myelin is associated with MS ...
