Brain discovery may catch Alzheimer’s, epilepsy in its nets
CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – Mysterious net-like structures that surround select neurons in the brain may be the key for better understanding and treating Alzheimer’s disease, epilepsy, schizophrenia and other neurological disorders, new research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine suggests. The structures, called “perineuronal nets,” play a critical barrier function that is essential for neurons to communicate correctly, UVA’s new research finds. When these nets were disrupted in lab mice, the mice suffered seizures, as seen in epilepsy, and developed changes in the brain as seen in Alzheimer’s. The findings suggest that problems with the nets could be contributing to those conditions and other neurological disorders. And that gives scientists an exciting new avenue to explore as they seek to develop better treatments for some of the most devastating diseases that afflict the human brain.
