Experts call for more neuroscience research focused on long-term recovery from addiction

September is addiction recovery month, and, in the midst of the current opioid epidemic, it's an apt moment for addiction research experts to map the future path forward for a long-term recovery strategy for substance abuse.

	Researchers find molecule that halts, reverts neurodegeneration caused by Parkinson's disease The small SynuClean-D molecule interrupts the formation of the alpha-synuclein amyloid fibers responsible for the onset of Parkinson's disease, and reverts the neurodegeneration caused by the disease.

	Common painkiller not effective in controlling chronic pain after traumatic nerve injury A new study out today in the Journal of Neurology finds that pregabalin is not effective in controlling the chronic pain that sometimes develops following traumatic nerve injury.

	Researchers propose mechanism by which ASTN2 protein defects lead to brain disorders In the brain, as in business, connections are everything. To maintain cellular associates, the outer surface of a neuron, its membrane, must express particular proteins--proverbial hands that reach out and greet nearby cells. And, like a creepily long handshake, surface molecules can overstay their welcome: A protein that lingers too long on the membrane may compromise the connections, or synapses, between cells.

	Researchers define specific neuropsychological profile of alcoholic abusers A Psychology and Neuroscience team of the University of Valencia has defined the specific neuropsychological profile of men with a history of violence against women in couple relationships who show several patterns of alcohol consumption.

	Air pollution appears to be linked to increased risk of developing dementia According to a new study co-authored by Professor Frank Kelly, School of Population Health & Environmental Sciences, air pollution appears to be linked to an increased risk of developing dementia.

	Researchers present details about new open science resource for neuroimaging community An international team of researchers led by scientists at the Child Mind Institute has released the first open-source data sets of non-human primate brain imaging

	Novel discovery could help to improve success of corneal transplants A team of eye specialists at The University of Nottingham has made another novel discovery that could help to improve the success of corneal transplants for patients whose sight has been affected by disease.

	Critical illness and major infection can promote brain changes, accelerate cognitive decline Researchers at Johns Hopkins report that a novel analysis of more than a thousand patients adds to evidence that hospitalization, critical illness and major infection may diminish brain structures that are most commonly affected by Alzheimer's disease.

	High levels of fibroblast growth factor 23 may affect brain health Scientists at the Medical University of South Carolina have uncovered mechanisms by which high levels of a hormone called FGF23 can reduce brain health.

	New research provides insight into the way human brain connects episodic memories to solve problems Humans have the ability to creatively combine their memories to solve problems and draw new insights, a process that depends on memories for specific events known as episodic memory.
