Great to see 2 of our @rcn.org.uk Neuroscience Nursing Forum committee members discuss mental health in Neurology and the importance of being vigilant of issues in patients and fellow staff members. As we know nurses are 23% more likely to take their own life.

May is Stroke Awareness month. In his blog, Mark, a Stroke Consultant nurse and RCN Neuroscience Forum member encourages us all to think about stroke care and the impact it has on improving standards of patient care.

Research Discovery: Neurodegeneration in multiple system atrophy (MSA) is caused by toxic protein clumps that penetrate the nuclei of neurons and cause the death of those cells.
Diseases affected: Multiple System Atrophy (MSA)
Key findings: Oligodendrocytes are not the primary cause of MSA, as previously thought.
What's next? By identifying neurons as the primary victims of α-synuclein toxicity, researchers can now develop treatments that protect neurons from invasive protein aggregates or enhance the cells’ ability to clear them out.
A breakthrough in #MultipleSystemAtrophy (MSA) research: Dr. Victor Dieriks and his team in NZ have identified that the cause of this neurodegenerative disorder is toxic α-synuclein protein aggregates that invade neuron nuclei.
