The human brain will be able to protect themselves from diseases by their own forces, researchers suggest.

Scientists from the University of Bristol have discovered a new way to prevent senile dementia, in which astrocytes of the brain will protect neurons.

Diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are caused by neurodegeneration, that is, by a significant reduction in the number of neurons..

Experts believe that astrocytes responsible for brain metabolism can be redirected to protect nerve cells from damage and destruction with the help of special medicines..

In addition, the activation of astrocytes can be applied in the treatment of already developed brain diseases.. People have tried to find a cure for this over the past decades..

Due to the positive results of the research, scientists will be able to develop drugs that will be able to effectively and harmlessly activate astrocytes in patients.
