Genes reveal surprising overlaps in brain diseases and disorders

Scientists find patterns in how disease-related genes switch on in the brain.
The study authors say this way of sorting brain diseases and psychiatric disorders could potentially identify new targets for treatments.

A comparison of anatomic and cellular transcriptome structures across 40 human brain diseases

Analysis of 40 common human brain diseases identifies 5 major transcriptional patterns, representing tumor-related, neurodegenerative, psychiatric and substance abuse, and 2 mixed groups of diseases affecting basal ganglia and hypothalamus.

Did you know that #myelination of neuronal axons by #oligodendrocytes in our #brain is a plastic process in which #myelin structure (white matter) can change in response to neuronal activity?

Here is a very interesting review article by Juliet Knowles and colleagues at Stanford University:

Adaptive and maladaptive myelination in health and disease
