Study shows cellular, molecular overlaps in ALS and FTLD

On the surface, the movement disorder amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, and the cognitive disorder frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), which underlies frontotemporal dementia, manifest in very different ways. In addition, they are known to primarily affect very different regions of the brain.

Study provides new insights into aging process of the human mind

A team of scientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) has demonstrated that communication among memory-coding neurons - nerve cells in the brain responsible for maintaining working memory - is disrupted with aging and that this can begin in middle age.
