Early hallucinations in Parkinson's disease are associated with frontal cognitive decline (triangles), and preceded by specific frontal neural oscillation (theta frequency band).

New Genetic Risk Factors for Dementia Discovered by NIH Scientists

Categories Brain & Behavior, Health

University of Minnesota Twin Cities researchers have developed a groundbreaking new diagnostic technique that will allow for faster and more accurate detection of neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and similar diseases that affect animals, such as chronic wasting disease (CWD) and mad cow disease.

Faster, More Accurate Tests for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Nano-QuIC

Fluorescent images of human neurons (stained with red, green and blue) growing on coatings with fast-moving molecules (left) or conventional laminin (right) for 60 days. Neurons spread homogenously and showed more complex branching on the highly mobile coating developed at Northwestern.

Lab-grown neurons hold promise for neurodegenerative disease

The illustration shows the cell types and brain regions affected by six different neurodegenerative diseases: Friedreich's ataxia (purple); Huntington's disease (blue); frontotemporal dementia (yellow); amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neuron disease (MND) or Lou Gehrig's disease (green); Parkinson's disease (orange); and Alzheimer's disease (pink).
