Assessment of synaptic density and mHTT aggregates in post-mortem human brain tissue of patients with Huntington's Disease. University of Antwerp
Aβ and tau pathology in the retina of Alzheimer’s disease patients and non-demented elderly individuals and its relation to the brain pathology KU Leuven
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is the most common form of neurodegenerative dementia in the elderly. Its complex pathogenesis is linked to the accumulation of abnormal phosphorylated τ protein and amyloid β peptide aggregates in the central nervous system. However, between the initiation of this protein aggregation and the onset of cognitive impairment, there is a gap of more than 10 years. Given that non-demented individuals already exhibit ...
Mechanisms of non-invasive brain stimulation to enhance consolidation of motor learning in Parkinson’s disease. KU Leuven
How the interplay between basal forebrain neuronal populations determines brain state and how this is changed in Alzheimer's disease. University of Antwerp
The KU Leuven Brain Institute: interdisciplinary collaboration to transform neuroscience research in health and disease. KU Leuven
The KU Leuven Brain Institute will unite all neuroscience research at KU Leuven. The goal is to achieve
excellence in neuroscience by joining forces to advance our understanding of the human nervous system, both normal and diseased. The LBI will foster new collaborations and new research lines that span the entire scope of neuroscience, from molecules to behavior and from in vitro systems to patients, to go beyond the state of the ...
