As clinicians increasingly make use of amyloid PET, they need to know where to draw the line between amyloid-negative and -positive scans. In the July 13 JAMA, scientists led by Ganna Blazhenets and ...

Turns out, microglia need TDP-43 to properly shape the brain's white matter during development. In the July 8 Nature Neuroscience, scientists led by Rosa Paolicelli at the University of Lausanne, ...

Somewhere, a synapse fires. Sodium and calcium flood the dendrite and trigger transcription of genes necessary for learning and memory. Within minutes, the transport protein Arc reaches the dendrite ...

Microdissection of more than 130 different brain nuclei is performed on frozen brains. These samples are approved for neurochemistry, neuroendocrine, molecular biology, proteomic and genomic studies.

This center only accepts brain tissue from patients evaluated, tested, and treated in its clinic for several years. The center keeps both healthy and diseased brains, but has more of the latter. It is ...

The brain bank houses one of the most extensive collections of human brain tissue in the southern hemisphere, comprising nine different neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, ...

Not a brain bank per se, but a for-pay brain autopsy program. Some brains are kept after autopsy, and tissues from Alzheimer's, other neurological disorders and a few controls, are available to ...

In the quest to understand how APOE4 heightens the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, scientists are drilling down to nuances such as how the variant acts in women versus men, and how it affects cell types.

The epsilon-4 allele of Apoliporotein E (APOE4) and the R47H variant of TREM2 have each been found to confer an approximately threefold increased risk for Alzheimer’s disease in humans heterozygous ...

This database is a repository of normal genetic variability, designed to be a tool for researchers who study neurodegenerative disease. It contains whole-exome sequencing results from nearly 500 ...

The Alzheimer’s field was rocked this week by allegations against Sylvain Lesné at the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. Lesné stands accused of manipulating data images in multiple papers, ...
