A 2026 Drosophila Parkinson’s model exposed male and female flies to 500 μM rotenone. By 60 days, male flies had worse survival/climbing than female flies; the paper is a vulnerability scree…
Read articleA 2026 medRxiv genetic analysis linked type 2 diabetes and 2-hour postprandial glucose — the blood-sugar rise after an oral glucose challenge — to higher lacunar stroke risk, with a stronger…
Read articleA 91-player adolescent football preprint mapped head-impact-related cortical slowing onto brain receptor and gene-expression maps: concussion-related slowing aligned with norepinephrine tran…
Read articleA 2025 paper by Gu et al. in Molecular Psychiatry — the largest study of its kind — finds that higher common-variant genetic risk for autism predicts lower cortical neurite density in 31,748…
Read articleA 2026 study by Bai et al. in Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience uses Mendelian randomization (MR) — inherited genetic variants as a natural experiment to test causality — and concludes that…
Read articleA 2026 Parkinson’s disease study used gene-expression data and genome-scale metabolic modeling to predict patient-level metabolite patterns, then separated 104 patients into 3 metabolic subg…
Read articleA 2026 review argued that G protein-coupled receptor 30 may connect estrogen signaling, trigeminal pain pathways, and migraine biology, but migraine-specific human trials of GPR30-targeted d…
