Learning about Alzheimer's early stages
UAB researchers have participated in a research published in the journal Neuron, that has studied how changes in the neurons binding process, called synapses, affect learning and memory in the Alzheimer's disease early stages of development. This research will allow a better...
A method to treat multiple sclerosis relapses
Researchers at the Department of Neurology of the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital in Badalona have developed a new protocol to treat relapses of multiple sclerosis. This protocol classifies the intensity of relapses as mild, moderate or severe, according to their score on the EDSS...
Identified a Gene with a Key Role in Neuronal Survival
Researchers at the Institute of Neurosciences at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) identified the fundamental role played by the Nurr1 gene in neuron survival associated with synaptic activity. The discovery, published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry,...
Polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids boost the birth of new neurons
UAB researchers have confirmed that a diet rich in polyphenols and polyunsaturated fatty acids, patented as an LMN diet, helps boost the production of the brain's stem cells -neurogenesis- and strengthens their differentiation in...
