Fri, 11 Aug 2023 17:21:43 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230811172143.htm A new mechanism encouraging the brain to self-repair after an ischemic stroke //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230810110118.htm Partial recovery after ischemic stroke is possible, but the mechanisms involved in this process remain unclear. Researchers identified a whole new pathway promoting brain repair. They discovered lipids secreted from neurons surrounding the area of cell death can trigger brain-autonomous neural repair after ischemic brain injury. These findings might contribute to developing new compounds to stimulate the brain's intrinsic repair mechanisms. Thu, 10 Aug 2023 11:01:18 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230810110118.htm A new ally in fighting brain diseases: Our very own skull //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130628.htm Alzheimer's, stroke, multiple sclerosis and other neurological diseases cause severe damage due to neuroinflammation mediated by immune cells. Managing this inflammation poses a significant medical challenge because the brain is protected by the skull and additional surrounding membranes that make the brain less accessible for treatment approaches. Scientists had previously discovered pathways going from the bone marrow of the skull towards the brain, allowing immune cell movement. Now, new research revealed that cells in the skull's bone marrow are unique in their composition and in their disease response. These findings offer new possibilities for the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases and revolutionize brain health monitoring in the future with non-invasive skull imaging. Wed, 09 Aug 2023 13:06:28 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/08/230809130628.htm How the brain detects and regulates inflammation //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230725123050.htm How does the brain adapt our behavior in response to an infection or injury? Scientists have revealed the existence of a circuit involved in sensing and also in the regulation of the anti-inflammatory response orchestrated by different brain regions. This circuit detects inflammation in the blood and organizes and regulates the immune response. It embodies a two-way connection between the brain and immune system. Tue, 25 Jul 2023 12:30:50 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230725123050.htm New study reveals why defense against brain corrosion declines in people with Alzheimer's disease //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/07/230724122745.htm A new study hascrevealed that the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) can be slowed by suppressing a specific protein in the brain that causes corrosion.

Wed, 24 May 2023 18:19:08 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230524181908.htm Brain signatures for chronic pain identified in a small group of individuals //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230522131308.htm Researchers have recorded pain-related data from inside the brain of individuals with chronic pain disorders caused by stroke or amputation (phantom limb pain). A long sought-after goal has been to understand how pain is represented by brain activity and how to modulate that activity to relieve suffering from chronic pain. Data were collected over months while patients were at home, and they were analyzed using machine learning tools. Doing so, the researchers identified an area of the brain associated with chronic pain and objective biomarkers of chronic pain in individual patients. Mon, 22 May 2023 13:13:08 EDT //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230522131308.htm Neuropathic pain: The underlying mechanism and a potential therapeutic target are revealed in mice //www.koonmotors.com/releases/2023/05/230504111839.htm Neuropathic pain -- abnormal hypersensitivity to stimuli -- is associated with impaired quality of life and is often poorly managed. Estimates suggest that 3 percent to 17 percent of adults suffer from neuropathic pain, including a quarter of people with diabetes and a third of people with HIV. Researchers report that a mechanism involving the enzyme Tiam1 in dorsal horn excitatory neurons of the spinal cord both initiates and maintains neuropathic pain. Moreover, they show that targeting spinal Tiam1 with anti-sense oligonucleotides injected into the cerebrospinal fluid effectively alleviated neuropathic pain hypersensitivity.
