China: Families at Beijing hospital amidst pneumonia outbreak In recent weeks countries across the globe have reported new cases of a type of pneumonia that is disproportionately affecting children. Known as mycoplasma pneumonia, the illness first caused concern in China where it is thought there are now thousands of cases. Since then the infection has been detected in the US, […]

Zapping the brain with electric twice a day can reverse symptoms of Alzheimer’s in WEEKS, study suggests Over 60 patients had significantly improved cognitive function after six weeks The electrical current ‘fires up’ the brain’s plasticity, enabling ‘rewiring’ READ MORE: Multiple sclerosis medication could treat Alzheimer’s disease Zapping the brain with electricity twice a day may reverse symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease, a small study has […]

Developing treatments for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is difficult because complex underlying mechanisms drive different types of cells that may contribute to the disorder. Microglia and astrocytes, resident immune and support cells in the central nervous system, are known to exclusively express several genes linked to the risk of AD—particularly AD dementia. However, it was previously unclear exactly how and when […]

Emergency department care 2022–23 Category 1: Admission recommended within 30 days Category 2: Admission recommended within 90 days Category 3: Admission recommended within 365 days. Resuscitation (triage category 1) is the most urgent category. It is for conditions that are immediately life threatening-such as heart attack, severe burns or injuries resulting from a motor vehicle accident. Patients in this category […]

Recent advances allow imaging of neurons inside freely moving animals. However, to decode circuit activity, these imaged neurons must be computationally identified and tracked. This becomes particularly challenging when the brain itself moves and deforms inside an organism’s flexible body, e.g., in a worm. Until now, the scientific community has lacked the tools to address the problem. Now, a team […]

In Cameroon’s rural north, very few girls go on to enjoy careers in science. Sabine Adeline Fanta Yadang, a neuroscience doctor, and Hadidjatou Dairou, Ph.D. student of cellular physiology, have overcome prejudice and smashed through the glass ceiling. They have been recognized for the quality of their research, along with 28 others from sub-Saharan Africa, by the L’Oreal-UNESCO for Women […]

Reviewed In a detailed study, Diet's Role in Modifying Risk of Alzheimer's Disease: History and Present Understanding published in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, we can finally see which diets are helpful in reducing the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. The role of diet in modifying the risk of Alzheimer's disease is discussed in detail. Diets that are more plant-based, […]

People with close relatives who have suffered from cardiovascular disease may benefit from eating more oily fish. This is according to a new study led by researchers from Karolinska Institutet and published in the journal Circulation. Oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, herring, and sardines contain the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). These fatty acids […]

Reviewed Indiana University researchers are collaborating on a novel approach to use neuroimaging and network modeling tools-;previously developed to analyze brains of patients in the clinic-;to investigate Alzheimer's disease progression in preclinical animal models. The research team, led by Evgeny Chumin, PhD, a postdoctoral research fellow in the College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at […]
