Summary: Ambroxol, a medication approved to treat coughs, may slow the progression of Parkinson’s disease. The medication is able to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and increases levels of GCase in patients’ brains. Ambroxol also appears to reduce Parkinson’s-related alpha-synuclein levels. Source: UCL Ambroxol, a medication originally designed to clear phlegm and ease coughing for people with respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, is being tested to see if it can slow down the progression of Parkinson’s disease by keeping cells healthier for longer. A research team led by Professor Tony Schapira (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) reported in January that ambroxol was safe and well-tolerated in 17 study participants with Parkinson’s disease. According to the findings published in JAMA Neurology, the drug also effectively crossed the blood-brain barrier and increased levels of the glucocerebrosidase (GCase) protein in the partici...

The surprising benefits of celery stalks (celery) Celery is the trade name, derived from the Spanish language, for the sweet celery strain. It is very beneficial to the health, having significant nutritional properties. It has a large proportion of water (95%) and offers very few calories. It contains vitamins A, B1, B2, B6, B9, C, E and K, minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, copper, sulfur, phosphorus and silicon, fibers and essential oils. Due to the 8 anticancer compounds it contains, it can be both effective in preventing cancer , accelerating the development of white blood cells that destroy cancer cells . In the strain of celery, there is a compound called coumarin that can prevent the formation and development of stomach and colon cancer. Helps eliminate toxins from the body faster, improving kidney function. If you are used to makin...

After Months of Unconsciousness, 9 People Wake Up After Brain Zaps By Yasmin Tayag on May 12, 2017 Filed Under Science , Biology , Medicine & Science Fiction T he strategy behind transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) devices seems hare-brained enough to be science fiction : Stick some electrodes on a human scalp, run low levels of electricity through it, and hope the current reignites dull or absent brain functions by getting neurons excited. The crazy part is that sometimes, it actually works. In a recent study, scientists found that it has the potentially to jumpstart what’s arguably the most important function of the brain — consciousness . They made this discovery by sticking the electrodes on people who, as a result of traumatic brain injury, were in a “minimally conscious state” — that is, they were awake and their awareness flickered (people who are i...

https://www.facebook.com/187740108029050/videos/395783657927710/?t=2 I just want to catch you up with some recent news items and back on the 20th of March we had a story about researchers who where using transcranial stimulation to reduce symptoms of major depression. This is a technique where a weak alternating electrical current are passed through electrodes on the scalp to stimulate specific parts of the cortex underneath. 70% of the treatment sample reported at least a 50% improvement in symptoms - which is rather incredible.

https://anycellphone2tdcsdevice.ecwid.com/ UNC School of Medicine researchers led by Flavio Frohlich, PhD, are the first to use transcranial alternating current brain stimulation (tACS) to significantly reduce symptoms in people diagnosed with major depression. With a weak alternating electrical current sent through electrodes attached to the scalp, UNC School of Medicine researchers successfully targeted a naturally occurring electrical pattern in a specific part of the brain and markedly improved depression symptoms in about 70 percent of participants in a clinical study. The research, published in Translational Psychiatry, lays the groundwork for larger research studies to use a specific kind of electrical brain stimulation called transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to treat people diagnosed with major depression. “We conducted a small study of 32 people because this sort of approach had never been done before,” said senior author Flavio Frohlich, PhD, asso...

While the rest of the country was immersed in the recent basketball tournament, the Virginia Tech School of Neuroscience had their own version of March Madness. Instead of using their physical abilities, NEUR 2036 students went head to head in a PONG tournament using only their brain activity, captured through state of the art Cognionics dry electrode EEG headsets! This new brain machine interfacing lab was thanks to the collaborative forces of the School of Neuroscience’s Dr. Ian Kimbrough and Dr. Sujith Vijayan and Electrical and Computer Engineering master students Naresh Nagabushan and Abhinuv Nitin Pitale. Together with course instructor Dr. Chelsea McCoy, they debuted another exciting new lab to the delight of the students!
