A blood test might predict when multiple sclerosis patients are about to suffer a relapse in their symptoms, a new study says ...

Blood levels of a protein called neurofilament light chain rise significantly in MS patients up to a year before they have a ...

This review summarises recent evidence supporting the involvement of the specialised nodal and perinodal domains (the paranode and juxtaparanode) of myelinated axons in the pathology of acquired, ...

New research reveals that Alzheimer's disease may impair nerve function not by reducing myelin, but by altering the proteins ...

The disruption of axons—the thread-like part of nerve cells that transmits electrical signals—is associated with Alzheimer's ...

“If we learn how the proteins that make up the myelin sheath are affected in the diseased state compared to a non-diseased state, we might be able to figure out what’s going on when the disease ...

Employing pharmacology, genetics and all-optical approaches in zebrafish, Braaker et al. find that neuronal activity influences the growth of myelin sheaths along axons by signaling through ...

New advanced imaging technology that detects specific molecules in the brain may find signs of MS lesions months earlier, a ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. Approximately 80% of people with MS have inflammation in the cerebellum, the part of the brain that helps control movement ...

Understanding the complexity of mental disorders requires a multi-faceted approach that considers the neural circuitry and the integral support systems ...
