Recent research indicates that memory loss from repeated head impacts, common in athletes, may be reversible. The study, combining efforts from Georgetown University and Trinity College Dublin, shows that activating specific neurons can counteract amnesia in mice, paving the way for potential treatments to restore cognitive function in affected individuals. Credit: SciTechDaily.comA study conducted on mice, aimed at understanding memory decline in individuals subjected to recurrent head trauma, such as athletes, indicates…

Kauwe, Pareja-Navarro et al. identify a KIBRA-dependent mechanism to repair the plasticity at synapses that is dysregulated in neurons underlying the loss of memory in tauopathy. The art depicts the recovery of the functional plasticity at synapses on neurons despite tau-induced toxicity in the brain. Credit: Larissa BrownA groundbreaking study presents a novel Alzheimer’s treatment strategy focusing on memory restoration through the repair of damaged synapses, leveraging the critical role of the KIBRA protein. This…
