Drugs That Quell Brain Inflammation Also Reverse Dementia in Mouse Model
After finding that drugs that reduced drug inflammation also reversed dementia in mice, scientists propose that the memory loss of aging is due to a leaky blood-brain barrier.

Mouse Study Shows That Gut Proteins Can Drive MS-like Inflammation
The factors in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) that act as a trigger for the immune system to attack the brain and spinal cord are still a mystery. In a new study, researchers used an animal model to show proteins and immune cells in the gut may play a role

Molecular "Bodyguards" Keep Out Parkinson's
Scientists have discovered that if the dynamic binding of chaperone proteins to the Parkinson protein α-synuclein is disturbed, it can lead to cell damage and the formation of aggregates typical for the disease.

To Get More Oxygen to the Brain, Just Breathe
Contrary to accepted knowledge, blood can bring more oxygen to mice brains when they exercise because the increased respiration packs more oxygen into the hemoglobin, according to an international team of researchers who believe that this holds true for all mammals.

A Week in the Dark Alters Mouse Brain Networks and Hearing
Scientists have known that depriving adult mice of vision can increase the sensitivity of individual neurons in the part of the brain devoted to hearing. New research has revealed that sight deprivation also changes the way brain cells interact with one another, altering neuronal networks and shifting the mice's sensitivity to different frequencies.
