The Brain’s Secret Handshake: Research Reveals Function of Little-Understood Synapse

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

Discovery could be useful in developing new therapies for multiple sclerosis, neurodegenerative conditions, and brain cancer.

New research from Oregon Health & Science University for the first time reveals the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain that could have important treatment implications for conditions ranging from multiple sclerosis to Alzheimer’s disease, to a type of brain cancer known as glioma.

The study will be published today (January 12) in the journal Nature Neuroscience.
