For the next two years, 120 Division I Rice University athletes will be part of a concussion study with Houston Methodist researchers to identify reliable and novel concussion biomarkers in their gut microbiomes in ways that standard brain imaging cannot.
People whose diet more closely resembles the MIND diet may have a lower risk of cognitive impairment, according to a study published in the September 18, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Results were similar for Black and white participants.
Ultra-thin layers of silk deposited on graphene in perfect alignment represent a key advance for the control needed in microelectronics and advanced neural network development.
Research from the University of Michigan suggests that one day a phone app could be able to detect the development of hepatic encephalopathy in patients just by listening to them speak.
Between and around the billions of neurons in the human brain is an interlinked net of proteins and sugars, which can regulate memory, learning, and behavior. A new tool developed by University of Utah Health researchers has uncovered detailed, dynamic patterns in this network's structure.
Two new papers by an international team of researchers demonstrate that evaluating microRNAs in blood can be used not only to diagnose mild cognitive impairment (MCI) but also to predict the conversion from MCI to dementia due to Alzheimer's disease.
New research from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) uses saturation genome editing to better understanding of the RAD51C gene, which has been linked to higher risks of breast and ovarian cancer; sheds new light on brain metastasis; and finds a commercially available contrast dye could help surgeons better separate cancer from healthy tissue.
The American Association of Neuromuscular & Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM) proudly announces Ms. Candy Dolan as the 2024 Outstanding Service Award recipient for her dedicated service to her patients, technologists, residents and fellows, and AANEM.
University of California San Diego Distinguished Professor of Physics and Neurobiology David Kleinfeld is a leading expert in sensory processing and mouth-face-head movements. Through a highly competitive process, a new $21 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) will allow him and a team of researchers to continue studying the coordination of multiple sensory inputs and head movements using laboratory mice and rats.
A new study led by UCLA Health found that a person’s sex and their unique experiences of childhood trauma can have specific consequences for their biological health and risk of developing 20 major diseases later in life.
In a game-changing study, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists developed a deep learning model — a type of artificial intelligence that mimics human brain function — to analyze high-speed videos of plasma plumes during a process called pulsed laser deposition, or PLD.
Renowned microsurgeon and True Digital Surgery (TDS) Board Member Dr. Kevin T. Foley, has been selected to the newly created position of Chief Medical Officer for the leading-edge company whose Digital Surgical Exoscope Platform, currently being utilized in over 20 countries worldwide, is changing the paradigm of surgical visualization.
Blueprint MedTech is a National Institutes of Health (NIH) technology incubator program that is part of the NIH Blueprint for Neuroscience Research and for the past two years has provided funding and expertise to fast-track the development of therapeutic and diagnostic devices for disorders that affect the nervous or neuromuscular systems.
Researchers from Rutgers and Princeton universities will use a $16 million federal grant award to collaborate on several research projects aimed at better understanding a key brain process that may be disrupted in mental health disorders.
Mount Sinai Health System today announced that they will be among the first in the world to deploy blood-based biomarkers (blood tests) and confirmatory tests for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias to patients across primary and specialty care settings—early detection tools that have never before been offered to patients in the clinical setting—as part of the Davos Alzheimer’s Collaborative (DAC) Healthcare System Preparedness Accurate Diagnosis project.
Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz and his son, Gus, went viral when Gus was seen celebrating his dad’s acceptance speech at the DNC. ...
