Lewy body (LB) pathology commonly occurs in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology. However, it remains unclear which genetic risk factors underlie AD pathology, LB pathology, or AD-LB co-pathology. Notably, whether APOE-ε4 affects risk of LB pathology independently from AD pathology is controversial.

- Scientists studied over 176,000 people to see how certain genes might protect against Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
- They found that specific types of a gene called HLA could help reduce the risk of these diseases and lower harmful proteins in the brain.
- This suggests that our immune system might help protect us from PD and AD, which could lead to new treatments in the future.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFThe mammalian visual system has been the focus of countless experimental and theoretical studies designed to elucidate principles of neural computation and sensory coding. Most theoretical work has focused on networks intended to reflect developing or mature neural circuitry, in both health and disease. Few computational studies have attempted to model changes that occur in neural circuitry as an organism ages non-pathologically.
