Brain Chemistry Labs is a non-profit research organization based in Jackson, Wyoming, focused on neurodegenerative diseases. It conducts biomedical investigations to uncover new brain therapies by examining patterns of wellness and disease observed in indigenous communities, reflecting an ethnomedical approach that traces back to Guam. The organization has reported that chronic exposure to the environmental toxin BMAA can trigger Alzheimer’s-like brain tangles and amyloid deposits and has demonstrated replication of these pathologies in an animal model exposed to the toxin. These efforts place the work at the intersection of neuroscience and ethnomedicine as it seeks to translate field observations into potential treatments. Its drug development efforts target conditions such as ALS, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, with two drug candidates described as promising and a third in development. In late 2023, researchers reported progress on synthesizing cyclotides from violets for mouse testing.
