Genetic mutations affecting a single gene called LRRK2 play an outsized role in Parkinson's disease, but nobody's been able to say what the connection is between the genetic defect and the brain-cell die-off that characterizes the condition. Here's a clue Image news | Nov 12 2018 Stanford Medicine - Scope Is zinc the link to how we think? Some evidence, and a word of warning Studies have associated low zinc levels with autism spectrum disorder. But why this should be the case has been unclear. Now, scientists may have an explanation for the link. Image news | Nov 7 2018 Stanford Medicine - Scope Nanoparticle ‘cage’ allows for safe, noninvasive, precise drug delivery in the b... Stanford researchers have shown in rats that pharmacologically active amounts of a fast-acting anesthetic drug could be released from nanoparticle "cages" in small, specified brain areas at which the scientists had aimed a beam of focused ultrasound.

The drug’s release modified activity in brain regions targeted by the ultrasound beam.
