Researchers find dysfunctions in calcium metabolism and in the cell’s “garbage disposal”. Their study shows a link between alterations in the so-called GBA1 gene and cellular dysfunctions in Parkinson’s for the first time. It is published in the journal Nature…

Today, the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) celebrates its five-year anniversary with a gala event. A public Science Day will follow tomorrow morning.

Bonn, May 2nd, 2014. How can I keep my brain fit? How is the brain ageing? How do nerve cells communicate? What is a brain researcher actually doing? – Guests can ask our scientists these and similar questions at a Family Science Day of the German Center for…

The three-dimensional structure of the transport protein TSPO opens up novel paths for the diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases.

The new research building of the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases in Magdeburg was inaugurated with a ceremonial opening this morning.

DZNE scientist Dieter Edbauer has been awarded a “Consolidator Grant” worth approximately two million Euro by the European Research Council (ERC) to investigate amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia.

This evening, Professor Christian Haass has been awarded the Federal Cross of Merit by the Bavarian Minister of State for Education and Cultural Affairs, Science and Arts Dr. Ludwig Spaenle.

Recurring patterns of neuronal activity contribute to memory consolidation. Scientists of the DZNE and the University of Bonn are reporting these findings in the Journal of Neuroscience.

“The aging society is one of the greatest challenges society has to face in the future. One of the most important goals is the development of new translational research strategies with the aim to combat common diseases,”

An international research consortium with the participation of the DZNE and the Bonn University Hospital has identified eleven previously unknown genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease. The results have been published in the scientific journal Nature…
