Scientific Journeys: Mapping the brain circuitry involved in Parkinson’s disease – Environmental Factor Newsletter

Posted: Published on June 10th, 2024

Observing brain cell activity in real time using sophisticated imaging methods has captivated the attention of Guohong Cui, M.D., Ph.D., since he joined NIEHS in 2014. Today, the recently tenured scientist and In Vivo Neurobiology Group leader explores how movement is controlled in animal models to improve understanding of and treatment for neurodegenerative conditions, such as Parkinsons disease. Parkinsons disease results from the degeneration of neurons in the brain that produce the chemical messenger dopamine Continue reading

In Parkinson’s, depression linked with low cognitive function, sex… – Parkinson’s News Today

Posted: Published on June 10th, 2024

Recognizing cognitive decline and low sex drive in people with Parkinsons disease and depression could aid the early diagnosis and better management of the disease, according to researchers in Iran. While its not known if treating depression may ease other nonmotor symptoms, these findings could be beneficial for early diagnosis of the disease, which eventually could make a considerable difference in the management of [Parkinsons], the researchers wrote in Depression is associated with the nonmotor symptoms of Parkinsons disease: A comparative analysis, which was published in Health Science Reports Continue reading

Coffee before brain scans may influence results in early Parkinson’s – Parkinson’s News Today

Posted: Published on June 10th, 2024

Heavy coffee consumption results in lower dopamine activity in the striatum, a brain region affected in Parkinsons disease, and does not ease motor symptoms in early diagnosed patients who have not yet been treated for the neurological disease, a study has found. However, coffee consumption before brain imaging was seen to influence results, with a temporary enhancement of dopamine activity in the brain. Clinicians should consider caffeines potential influence on [dopamine] imaging results and incorporate appropriate guidelines for caffeine abstinence prior to imaging, researchers wrote in the study Dietary Caffeine and Brain Dopaminergic Function in Parkinson Disease, which was published in the journal Annals of Neurology Continue reading

Parkinson’s treatment may lie in template to make alpha-synuclein – Parkinson’s News Today

Posted: Published on January 19th, 2024

Scientists have developed a molecule that promotes the clearance of toxic clumps of the alpha-synuclein protein a hallmark of Parkinsons disease by targeting its template rather that the protein itself. We have found that targeting the RNA needed to build the toxic protein may be an optimal strategy to slowing or even stopping disease progression, Matthew Disney, PhD, chair of the chemistry department at the University of Floridas Institute for Biomedical Innovation & Technology and the studys lead author, said in a university social media release. The study, Decreasing the intrinsically disordered protein -synuclein levels by targeting its structured mRNA with a ribonuclease-targeting chimera, was published in the journal PNAS. Continue reading
