Research Snapshots

Stem cell study demonstrates novel insight into development of Parkinson’s disease.

New research by UF neuroscientists shows that brain activity associated with reward processing takes place in two parts of the basil ganglia.

New research provides insight into how a variety of factors might be linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease.

Preclinical study shows potential to reverse pathological tau formations.

Electrical stimulation shows promise for restoring breathing after drug overdose, spinal cord injury in preclinical research.

UF neuroscientists investigated whether accumulations of tau and alpha synuclein can interact to accelerate the appearance of “mixed pathologies” in mouse models.

New study lends insights into factors that could help predict the efficacy of gene therapies using a genetically engineered antibody to target abnormal tau proteins.

New study demonstrates an example of the brain’s ability to shift and utilize different neural circuits to perform a task in order to compensate for brain aging.

A new study by UF neuroscientists suggests that white matter “free water,” or fluid unconstrained by brain tissue, could play an important role in the cognitive aging process.

Study demonstrates that individuals with past heavy alcohol use and HIV demonstrate functional connectivity differences in the brain.
