Scientists create detailed single-cell map of the developing human brain

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, their genetic fingerprints, and how they grow and interact.

Exploring the gut-brain-immune axis in neurodegeneration

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs), such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS), represent a growing global health burden, particularly in aging populations.

Genetic analysis of blood sample could offer a non-invasive way for early Parkinson’s diagnosis

The genetic analysis of a blood sample could become a tool for the early diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, according to an exploratory study led by researchers from the Miguel Hernández University of Elche (UMH).

Revolutionizing gait analysis with wearable sensors and 3D depth cameras

A study from the College of Engineering and Computer Science and the Sensing Institute (I-SENSE) at Florida Atlantic University reveals that foot-mounted wearable sensors and a 3D depth camera can accurately measure how people walk – even in busy clinical environments – offering a powerful and more accessible alternative to traditional gait assessment tools.

Leveraging the microbiome to promote healthy living and aging

From probiotic pills to skincare products to dedicated meal plans, the microbiome is all the rage in the health and wellness space.

Women with isolated REM sleep behavior disorder show lesser brain atrophy than men

A large international study involving nearly 700 participants reveals that women with a precursor condition to Parkinson's disease show significantly less brain atrophy—decreased cortical thickness in the brain—than men, despite similar clinical severity.

Study reveals protein plaques in neurodegeneration function as enzymes, breaking down ATP

A new study led by Rice University's Pernilla Wittung-Stafshede has revealed that protein clumps, or plaques that clog the brain, associated with Parkinson's disease are not merely waste; they can actively drain energy from brain cells.

World's largest-ever clinical trial launched to test treatments for Parkinson's disease

The world's largest-ever clinical trial of treatments to slow or stop the progression of Parkinson's disease has launched, led by researchers at UCL and Newcastle University.

Advanced MRI technique reveals early markers of hereditary frontotemporal dementia

An international study led by researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden demonstrates that it is possible to detect subtle changes in the brain and identify early signs of hereditary frontotemporal dementia using advanced brain imaging techniques.

New stem cell-based strategy could enhance neuronal regeneration and neuroplasticity

The brain's mechanisms for repairing injuries caused by trauma or degenerative diseases are not yet known in detail.

Why brittle bones aren’t just a woman’s problem

Ronald Klein was biking around his neighborhood in North Wales, Pennsylvania, in 2006 and tried to jump a curb. "But I was going too slow — I didn't have enough momentum," he recalled.

Errors in EPG5 gene implicated in rare infant condition and adult neurodegenerative diseases

Errors in a gene known to cause a serious neurodevelopmental condition in infants are also linked to the development of Parkinson's disease in adolescence and adulthood, according to new research.

Unraveling the brain mechanisms behind social hierarchies in mice

Social hierarchies are everywhere-think of high school dramas, where the athletes are portrayed as most popular, or large companies, where the CEO makes the important decisions.

Scientists directly visualize protein clusters linked to Parkinson’s for the first time

Scientists have, for the first time, directly visualized and quantified the protein clusters believed to trigger Parkinson's, marking a major advance in the study of the world's fastest-growing neurological disease.

Long-term exposure to industrial solvent associated with elevated Parkinson's disease risk

Long-term exposure to the industrial solvent trichloroethylene (TCE) outdoors may be linked to an increased risk of Parkinson's disease, according to a large nationwide study published in the October 1, 2025, issue of Neurology, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.
