Harnessing immune cells in the brain to ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases – Neuroscience News

Leave a Comment / Artificial intelligence / By

Summary: Researchers have identified a protein that could be harnessed to help microglia in the brain ward off Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. Source: The conversation Many neurodegenerative diseases, or conditions resulting from the loss of function or death of brain cells, remain largely incurable. Most available treatments target only one of the multiple …

If we can analyze the organization of neural circuits, this will play a crucial role in better understanding the thought process. This is where maps come in. Maps of the nervous system contain information about the identity of individual cells, such as their type, subcellular component, and neuron connectivity. But how do you get these …

When Deblina Sarkar wanted to name her lab’s new creation the “Cell Rover”, her students hesitated. “They were like, ‘this sounds too cool for a science tech,’” she says. But Sarkar, a nanotechnician at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wanted the name of the small device to evoke the exploration of unknown worlds. This rover, …
