Scientists discover how multiple sclerosis kills neurons

For decades, multiple sclerosis research has focused on myelin, the insulation around the brain's wiring. Scientists paid less attention to another loss that was happening in parallel: neurons in the cortex, the seat of higher ...

Brain wiring model could shorten path to new medicines

A new, more life-like physical model of microscopic nerve fibers called axons could speed up the discovery of medicines for multiple sclerosis and other degenerative brain diseases, suggests a new study led by UCL researchers. ...
