Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an intractable neurological disease. Aging is a risk factor for motor cortex accumulation of TDP-43 (transduction responsive region DNA-binding protein of 43kDa). Researchers have found that methylation of TDP-43 DNA is involved in the background of motor cortex involvement with aging in ALS.

A team of neuroscientists has shown that chronic hyperglycemia impairs working memory performance and alters fundamental aspects of working memory networks, strengthening the link between Type II diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease.
