Stem cell replacement therapy: a potential treatment for Parkinson’s disease
In a new study, researchers describe a process for converting non-neuronal cells into functioning neurons able to restore capacities undermined by Parkinson’s destruction of dopaminergic cells.

Researchers use brain organoids to identify neural abnormalities and test gene therapy tools
Scientists used human brain organoids to reveal how a genetic mutation associated with a profound form of autism disrupts neural development, and gene therapy tools to recover the gene’s function effectively rescued neural structure and function.
news
Brain organoids may boost drug screening for neurological disorders
Neuroscientists have designed brain organoids to contain both mature neurons and astrocytic glial cells in relative proportions like the human brain.

Promising new research could advance memory disorder drug development
Researchers have discovered two types of cells in the brain that are involved in organising discrete memories based on when they occurred. This finding improves the understanding of how the human brain forms memories and could have implications in memory disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Molecular pathway shared by two neurodegenerative disorders found
Scientists have gained deeper knowledge about the mislocalisation of a protein, providing a possible therapeutic target that could have implications in treating dementia.
news
New research points to a possible driver of Parkinson’s disease
A study has shown how Parkinson’s disease may be driven by cell stress-related biochemical events that disrupt a key cellular clean-up system.
news
Possible improvement to Parkinson’s disease treatment shown in study
Research from the University of Copenhagen reveals how Deep Brain Stimulation treatment of walking problems in Parkinson’s disease could be optimised by targeting specific neurons in the brainstem.

Scientists ‘reinvent’ petri dish for growing live brain tissue
Researchers have innovated the petri dish to be able to grow and age live brain cells from patients with neurological disorders.
news
Study may be critical step to understanding cognitive disorders
In a scientific first, researchers have discovered fundamental mechanisms by which the hippocampus region of the brain organises memories into sequences and how this can be used to plan future behaviour.
news
Research provides potential new way of preventing Alzheimer’s disease
New pre-clinical research from the Université Laval Faculty of Medicine and CHU de Québec–Université Laval Research Centre showed genetically mutating human cells could avoid Alzheimer’s disease.
