Protein Discovery New Key to Memory Formation

This shows a woman.Researchers discovered a surprising new function of the protein RPT6 in the brain, which could revolutionize the understanding and treatment of memory disorders. Previously known for its role in the proteasome complex in the hippocampus, RPT6 has now been found to bind to DNA and regulate gene expression during memory formation.

More Evidence that Patient Portals Improve Patient Care

Of all the medical specialties, neurologists see some of the most complex patients. This idea bears out anecdotally among the neurologists we have interviewed here at Neurology Insights but also statistically. In this 2018 study published in JAMA , neurologists were ranked #3 among physician types for patient complexity as well as for their number of comorbidities (Nephrologists were ranked #1, if you must know). Not surprisingly, among the comorbidities they listed: diabetes . In addition to the neurological sequelae associated with diabetes, this complex and chronic condition often requires well-coordinated care involving repeated testing and care by other providers. A new study published last month (June, 2019) in the journal PlosOne , shows that all this can be improved when these complex patients have access to a patient portal . “A patient portal is a secure online website that gives patients convenient, 24-hour access to personal health information from anywhere with an Inte...
