Study found that individuals with two mutated copies of an HFE gene showed evidence from MRI scans of substantially higher iron concentrations in motor regions of the brain, with males at a nearly 2 fold increase in risk for developing movement disorders. ja.ma/3PQWequ

Today, we're revisiting a study that identified a "map" of how brain deterioration tends to occur over time in Parkinson’s disease, as this research resonated with many in this community. buff.ly/3xWuNVF #parkinsons #parkinsonsresearch #parkinsonsdisease #parkinsonsnews
Study found that the major contributors to #Alzheimerdisease and related #dementia have changed over the past decade and differ based on sex and race and ethnicity. ja.ma/3LY6KtX

Morris et al. reveal similar rates of change of biomarkers in individuals with autosomal dominant Alzheimer’s disease vs. late-onset Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting that the two disorders share a common pathophysiology. bit.ly/3NmhbI2

A study in @NatureNeuro identifies genetic variants that affect rates of brain growth and shrink. These genes are linked to early brain development and neurodegeneration. go.nature.com/3uR4wqd
The authors of a new paper in the forthcoming issue of the Journal of Parkinson's Disease share a “Call to Action” with initial recommendations for engaging people with Parkinson’s disease in the design and execution of clinical research. News release: bit.ly/JPD12-4_PR1

New research from @jetze_tepe @Tepe_Lab & @MSUChem colleagues presents the design, synthesis, & biological assessment of potent 20S proteasome activators; This class of compounds prevented the accumulation of #Parkinsons-associated A53T α-syn (in vitro) pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…

Forget what you saw: a brain region detects when you are about to think of an unwanted memory and alerts other regions to suppress it, according to research recently published in # JNeurosci from ​@MaityWinky, @Memory_Control et al @mrccbu @SouthwestUni jneurosci.org/lookup/DOI/10.…
