Role of taurine in the central nervous system

Quote: Taurine demonstrates multiple cellular functions including a central role as a neurotransmitter, as a trophic factor in CNS development, in maintaining the structural integrity of the membrane, in regulating calcium transport and homeostasis, as an osmolyte, as a neuromodulator and as a neuroprotectant. The neurotransmitter properties of taurine are illustrated by its ability to elicit neuronal hyperpolarization, the presence of specific taurine synthesizing enzyme and receptors in the CNS and the presence of a taurine transporter system. Taurine exerts its neuroprotective functions against the glutamate induced excitotoxicity by reducing the glutamate-induced increase of intracellular calcium level, by shifting the ratio of Bcl-2 and Bad ratio in favor of cell survival and by reducing the ER stress. The presence of metabotropic taurine receptors which are negatively coupled to phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathway through inhibitory G proteins is proposed, and the evidence supporting this notion is also presented.
Comment: Can also reduce effects of acetaldehyde, a common pollutant from alcoholics and alcohol-gasoline blended automobile fuels. We have way too many alcoholic automobiles in California

Is Coconut Oil A Possible Cure for Alzheimers?

Quote: Since 2003, approximately 99 percent of Alzheimers drug trials have failed to live up to expectations (Cummings, Alzheimers Research Therapy, 2019); one analysis pegs the pipeline failure rate at 99.6 percent (Life Sciences, 2022)....

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has described the amyloid pipeline as built on "utter corruption" (Science, May 14, 2025), and in January 2026 he appointed a new Federal Alzheimers Advisory Council chair and ten new members tasked with broadening the agenda beyond amyloid....

In 2005, Brown University researchers led by Dr. Suzanne de la Monte examined the brains of Alzheimers patients with no history of diabetes. They found insulin resistance and insulin deficiency in every brain, and coined the term Type 3 diabetes (de la Monte Wands, J. Diabetes Sci. Tech., 2008). The dysfunction begins 10 to 20 years before symptoms (de la Monte, 2014). ...

Multi-ancestry analysis of POLG variants in Parkinsons disease

Quote: Conclusions POLG variants are overall rare in PD. The identification of rare pathogenic variants among PD cases suggests that POLG-related mitochondrial dysfunction may contribute to PD in isolated instances, particularly under recessive inheritance. Our findings support a role for POLG variants in select cases and underscore the need for larger-scale sequencing and functional studies.

A novel diagnostic intracranial EEG biomarker in MOGHE

Quote: Mild malformation of cortical development with oligodendroglial hyperplasia and epilepsy (MOGHE) is a recently recognized cause of drug-resistant focal epilepsy. It is often MRI-negative or shows imaging features mimicking focal cortical dysplasias, which makes recognition difficult and limits presurgical counseling. We aimed to identify an intracranial EEG (iEEG) biomarker that distinguishes MOGHE from other developmental brain lesions encountered in epilepsy surgery.

Scientists Found a New Alzheimers Trigger and a Drug That Stops It

Quote: GRK2 exists in two forms inside cells. One form functions normally, while the other becomes inactive through cellular processes. The researchers found that the inactive version accumulates in large amounts in the brains of people with dementia. Similar patterns were also observed in mice that develop Alzheimers-like symptoms....

"The GRK2 aggregates block the pores of the mitochondria, reducing the amount of energy they can supply and leading to a situation of stress inside the cells," Quitterer explains. The team also found that inactive GRK2 appears to increase the production of amyloid beta, a protein fragment widely associated with Alzheimers disease.

Advanced Alzheimers Patient Regained Speech, Memory, and Bladder Control After a Single Psilocybin Dose

Quote: According to the report, she had become largely monosyllabic, demonstrated profound cognitive impairment, chronic urinary incontinence, impaired mobility, dysphagia, executive dysfunction, and severe reduction in spontaneous communication and emotional engagement. After receiving a single 5g oral dose of psilocybin-containing mushrooms (Enigma strain), the patient reportedly experienced rapid and sustained functional improvement across multiple domains....

To be clear, this is one published case report, not a randomized controlled trial, and causality cannot be established.

Comment: Not without risk and not shown to be reproducable in others.
