    Inflammation causes cerebral cortex dysfunction in multiple sclerosis

    Immune cells attack synapses

    27 January 2021 | Damage to the brain gray matter plays an important role in the progression of multiple sclerosis. A team of neuroscientists has now shown that the cause are inflammatory responses that lead to synapse loss, reducing neuronal activity.

  • The image shows a flexible electrode that is connected to a nerve. The nerve is represented as a purple colored tube. The electrode consists of six circular metal parts each equipped with a small tip that goes into the nerve. A metallic conducting track leads to any of these electrode ends. The tracks are embedded in a transparent band.
