The Role of the Hypocretin-Dorsal Raphe Nucleus Circuit in Chronic Social Isolation and Acute Social Stress

Sex effect on cortical neurodegeneration in isolated REM sleep behavior disorder and its association with clinical manifestations

Impairments in social cognition (SC), such as difficulties in understanding emotions, social cues, and maintaining meaningful interactions, are key contributors to the loss of social inclusion and quality of life in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases (ND).

Contribution of stress-associated neurovascular alterations in Parkinson’s disease and high rates of depression

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that causes muscle weakness and paralysis, partly due to the buildup of protein aggregates in nerve cells.

Using the mirror image of body’s main sugar glucose (so-called L-glucose), we plan to hijack the sugar addiction of glioblastoma (GBM) as a therapeutic target.

There is a lot of talk about the gut microbiome in neurology. This is important, because people with neurological diseases, including Alzheimer´s disease (AD), change their diets and think about probiotics when finding out about their diagnosis. Researchers study the gut microbiome by analyzing stool samples and then seeing if it is different in AD compared to healthy people. However, there is a major flaw in this research.

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) can result from many different mutations in the same gene, making mutation-specific treatments challenging.
