Neural basis of Alzheimer disease

Alzheimer’s disease is a devastating neurological disorder that affects millions of people around the world. Neuroimaging studies have revealed a number of changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease, including a decrease in the size of the hippocampus, an increase in the size of the ventricles, and a decrease in the amount of gray matter. In addition, research has revealed a number of functional changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease, including a decrease in the activity of certain neurotransmitters and an increase in the activity of other neurotransmitters.

Neural basis of GABA receptors

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is essential for reducing neuronal excitability in the brain, and GABA receptors have a critical role in maintaining a balance between excitatory and inhibitory neuronal activity. In this blog post, we discuss the neural basis of GABA receptors, providing a comprehensive overview of their structure, function, and potential applications. We examine some examples of how GABA receptors function in the context of neuronal signaling, explore the potential applications of these receptors, examine the challenges and limitations of research in this field, and look at the future research scope.

Neural basis of Huntington disease

Huntingtons disease is a neurodegenerative disorder caused by a mutant gene that produces a toxic protein damaging nerve cells in the brain that leads to a decline in cognitive and motor function. This post explores the latest research on the neural basis of HD, brain regions affected, pathophysiology of neuronal death, and molecular mechanisms. Additionally, we will delve into potential treatments, such as gene therapy or stem cell therapy, that are being investigated to improve patient quality of life.

Neural basis of Parkinson disease

Parkinson disease is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects millions of people globally. It is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, resulting in motor and non-motor symptoms that can significantly affect individuals quality of life. While current treatments aim to alleviate the symptoms of Parkinsons disease, ongoing research into its neural basis holds promise for developing more effective therapies and addressing ethical concerns.

Neural basis of Tourette syndrome

Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and sounds known as tics. The neural basis of Tourette syndrome is incredibly complex and involves a range of brain regions and neural circuits. Several theories attempt to explain the underlying causes of TS, including abnormalities in dopamine, glutamate, and GABA systems. Neuroimaging studies have shown abnormal activation in prefrontal, striatal, and thalamic regions. Additionally, the basal ganglia and CSTC circuits are thought to play a critical role in the onset and maintenance of tics. This post explores the neural basis of Tourette syndrome and its underlying causes, highlighting potential applications and challenges in understanding TS.
