Neurological disorder news

Here are some recent news articles and updates on neurological disorders:

Alzheimer's Disease

• A new study published in the journal Nature Medicine has identified a potential new target for treating Alzheimer's disease: a protein called TREM2, which is involved in the clearance of amyloid beta plaques in the brain. (Source: ScienceDaily)
• Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a new imaging technique that can detect Alzheimer's disease in its early stages, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment. (Source: Medical News Today)

Parkinson's Disease

• A study published in the journal Neurology has found that a new medication, called isradipine, may slow the progression of Parkinson's disease by reducing the accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein in the brain. (Source: ScienceDaily)
• Researchers at the University of Cambridge have identified a new genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease, which may help explain why some people are more susceptible to the condition. (Source: Medical News Today)

Multiple Sclerosis

• A study published in the journal Neurology has found that a new medication, called ozanimod, may be effective in reducing the frequency of relapses in people with multiple sclerosis. (Source: ScienceDaily)
• Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a new imaging technique that can detect multiple sclerosis lesions in the brain, potentially leading to earlier diagnosis and treatment. (Source: Medical News Today)

Epilepsy

• A study published in the journal Nature has identified a new gene that is associated with a higher risk of developing epilepsy. (Source: ScienceDaily)
• Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have developed a new implantable device that can detect and treat seizures in people with epilepsy. (Source: Medical News Today)

Stroke

• A study published in the journal Stroke has found that a new medication, called tenecteplase, may be effective in reducing the risk of stroke in people with atrial fibrillation. (Source: ScienceDaily)
• Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles have developed a new imaging technique that can detect blood clots in the brain, potentially leading to earlier treatment of stroke. (Source: Medical News Today)

Other Neurological Disorders

• A study published in the journal Neurology has found that a new medication, called tozadenant, may be effective in reducing the risk of Parkinson's disease in people with a family history of the condition. (Source: ScienceDaily)
• Researchers at the University of California, San Diego have developed a new treatment for chronic pain that uses a combination of electrical stimulation and medication. (Source: Medical News Today)
