...August, a team of scientists at Northwestern University were the first to show why the brain's "memory function" fails in the face of an insulin shortage. The group's prior research had already pinpointed the culprit: toxic proteins called amyloid beta-derived diffusible ligands (ADDLs, for short), which are known to pile up in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. Scientists also knew that Alzheimer's patients' brains have lower levels of insulin and are insulin resistant. But what the Northwestern team discovered is the molecular mechanism behind that resistance: when ADDLs bind to neurons at synapses, they...
...understand that the function of insulin at those synapses is to modulate and influence the underlying cellular structure of memories," says William Klein, professor of neurobiology and physiology at Northwestern University and a co-author of the study published online by the FASEB Journal. "What we have here is a striking phenomenon that may ultimately explain why the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease are insulin resistant and how that ties into memory...
Throughout America’s early history, according to Northwestern University professor of economics Ofer H. Azar, tipping was almost unknown. Our founding tradition of equality and democracy did not mesh with the aristocratic character of tipping...
