Interesting pre-clinical evidence of age-related changes in protein homeostasis that may lead to⬆️susceptibility to peripheral α-Syn pathology and support the role of gut-brain axis in central neurodegeneration. Of relevance to a range of human synucleinopathies incl #Parkinsons.

Gut-seeded α-synuclein fibrils promote gut dysfunction and brain pathology specifically in aged mice

Nature Neuroscience - Alpha-synuclein fibrils can disrupt the enteric nervous system, which is mitigated by peripheral GBA1 gene transfer via systemic AAVs. Aging increases susceptibility to...

This animation shows the ligand-gated ion channel GABA_A. GABA binds to the extracellular portion of the GABA_A receptor. This causes a conformational change of the GABA_A receptor which leads to the opening of the channel. Chloride ions (green) can then rush into the cell.

Because of the similarities to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, Lewy Body Dementia is often misdiagnosed. With similar symptoms, hallucinations and swings of consciousness the @lbsorg is raising awareness of LBD to help encourage correct diagnosis and proper treatment. #lewybody

"Among the words forbidden to be used in @CDCgov budget documents are 'evidence-based' and 'science-based.' Here's a word that's still allowed: ridiculous." - @RushHolt, CEO, American Association for the Advancement of Science wapo.st/2ABSSB4

CDC gets list of forbidden words: Fetus, transgender, diversity

Agency analysts have been told to avoid these seven banned words and phrases in budget documents.
