A new map of the basal ganglia provides a blueprint of the structure of the brain region and reveals a new level of influence connected to this area.
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Unusual Mechanism in Rare Mutation Associated With Alzheimer’s Uncovered
The S198P mutation causes APP to fold more quickly, allowing amyloid-beta peptides to produce from mature APP at a more rapid rate than from APP that does not contain the genetic mutation. The findings shed new light on genetic mutations associated wit…
Article Correctness Is Author's Responsibility: Thirteen New Alzheimer’s Genes Identified
A new whole-genome sequencing study has revealed thirteen novel genes associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers also found a new link between Alzheimer’s and synaptic function.
