The competitive NMDA antagonist CPP protects substantia nigra neurons from MPTP-induced degeneration in primates [PDF]
Degeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic neurons is the primary histopathological feature of Parkinson's disease. The neurotoxin MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine) induces a neurological syndrome in man and non-human primates very ...

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.

Movement Disorders in Developmental and Epileptic Encephalopathies
Abstract Background Monogenic developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) frequently feature co‐occurring movement disorders. Gene discovery has expanded epilepsy‐dyskinesia syndromes (EDS) from classic associations such as stereotypies in Rett syndrome to PRRT2‐related infantile seizures with paroxysmal dyskinesia and crouched gait in SCN1A ...

Neuroprotective effects of ursodeoxycholic acid in Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease
In Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), various shared pathological mechanisms exist. UDCA has been shown to exert neuroprotective effects in preclinical and clinical studies. Such effects include the mitigation of neuroinflammation as well as rescue effects on mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, impaired autophagy, and ...
