Podcast
Neurodegeneration is a slow and progressive loss of neuronal cells in specific regions of the brain and is the main pathologic feature of Parkinson’s disease or Alzheimer’s disease. With the aging of the population, the importance of neurodegeneration is dramatically increasing in the absence of either effective therapeutic interventions or a clear understanding of the discrete pathophysiology of neurogenerative disease states.
In this podcast, made in collaboration with The Scientist journal, Erdem Gültekin Tamgüney, a professor in the Institute of Physical Biology at Heinrich Heine University, Dusseldorf, speaks about technologies driving modern neuroscience research and his own work exploring the link between ischemic stroke and Parkinson’s disease.
