New evidence on the links between immune activation and neuroinflammation and Parkinson's disease

In this special supplement to the Journal of Parkinson's Disease, "The Immune System in Parkinson's Disease," experts highlight the latest research breakthroughs on the links between immune activation and neuroinflammation and Parkinson's disease (PD) and discuss the challenges and novel therapeutic strategies targeting the immune system with the hope of reducing or reversing neurodegeneration.

New biomarker can help identify people with a primary tauopathy

Zooming in on a single disease and studying it intensely is often the most productive route to finding treatments. But there's no easy way to distinguish among people living with any of the primary tauopathies - a group of rare brain diseases marked by rapidly worsening problems with thinking and movement - because the symptoms are too similar.

Decline in specific protein levels linked to Alzheimer’s disease, not buildup of amyloid plaques

New research from the University of Cincinnati bolsters a hypothesis that Alzheimer's disease is caused by a decline in levels of a specific protein, contrary to a prevailing theory that has been recently called into question.

Treatment for neurological diseases often no longer effective enough in the later stages

Neurological diseases often begin with an inflammatory process and the degradation of the so-called myelin layer, which surrounds the nerve fibers (axons) like a protective insulating layer.

Study reveals the long-term neurologic consequences of COVID-19

If you've had COVID-19, it may still be messing with your brain. Those who have been infected with the virus are at increased risk of developing a range of neurological conditions in the first year after the infection, new research shows.

Study explores the long-term impact of telemedicine on child neurology care

Researchers from the Epilepsy Neurogenetics Initiative (ENGIN) at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) found that across nearly 50,000 visits, patients continued to use telemedicine effectively even with the reopening of outpatient clinics a year after the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
