An international team of researchers at DZNE and Tokyo Tech have revealed in a collaborative study - published today in Neuron, that neurons in the eye change on the molecular level when they are exposed to prolonged light.
Yesterday, the participating scientists from DZNE, the Institute for Community Medicine at the University of Greifswald’s Medical Faculty and family practitioners discussed the status of the study during a symposium held on the occasion of the successfully completed…
Officials of both institutions today agreed to collaborate on research efforts with the potential to improve outcomes for patients with neurodegenerative disease and for individuals at increased risk for developing these diseases. The collaboration will also include…
DZNE researchers show in Science: Cancer drug epothilone promotes neuronal regeneration and improves motor skills after experimental spinal cord injury.
Together with Professor Pierluigi Nicotera, Chairman of the Executive Board and Scientific Director, Helling-Moegen leads the research institute with more than 800 employees spread across nine sites in Germany. Dr. Helling-Moegen works in the administrative headquarters in…
An international team led by researchers of the University of Magdeburg and the DZNE has successfully determined the location, where memories are generated with a level of precision never achieved before. To this end the scientists used a particularly accurate type of…
Through experimental studies scientists of the DZNE at the Bonn and Berlin sites have now gained new insights into how Alzheimer’s interferes with the metabolism of astrocytes.
In diseases of the brain, such as Alzheimer’s, the neurons fail to communicate correctly with each other. As researchers of the DZNE now report in the journal “Neuron“, these connectivity problems can be ascribed to alterations in the structure of the nerve cells.
Prof. Craig Garner, jointly appointed by both institutions, studies dementia, with a particular focus on synapses. His aim is to develop therapies that restore disturbed communication between brain cells.
Physical exercise in old age can improve brain perfusion as well as certain memory skills. This is the finding of Magdeburg neuroscientists who studied women and men aged between 60 and 77.
