When most people think of COVID now, they picture a short illness like a cold – a few days of fever, sore throat or cough before getting better. But for many, the story doesn’t end there. Long COVID – defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as symptoms lasting at least three months after infection – has become a lasting …

Courtesy of the Authors When my grandfather was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2014, I assumed it was pure bad luck—perhaps from some secret misprint wired deep in his genetic code, or something that “just happened” to certain people as they aged. Parkinson’s slowly deteriorates the brain’s basal ganglia (which are in charge of movement control). It caused my grandfather, …

Researchers have suspected for some time that the link between our gut and brain plays a role in the onset of Parkinson’s disease. A recent study identified gut microbes likely to be involved and linked them with decreased riboflavin ( vitamin B2) and biotin (vitamin B7), suggesting an unexpectedly simple treatment that may help: B vitamins. “Supplementation therapy targeting riboflavin …

Key Questions Answered Q: How does exercise help Parkinson’s patients at the brain level?A: Long-term cycling regimens appear to alter brain signals in regions affected by Parkinson’s, suggesting neural reactivation. Q: What’s different about this study?A: Researchers used implanted deep brain stimulation (DBS) devices to record real-time brain signals before and after exercise, linking motor improvement to potential network-level brain …

Broken connections between brain cells play a critical role in multiple neurodegenerative conditions, including Parkinson’s disease. Scientists have now come up with a novel way of repairing our neural wiring. A team led by University of Pisa biologist Sara De Vincentiis used mini-brains grown in a lab to test a technique they’re calling “nano-pulling”, using tiny magnetic particles controlled by …
