Automatic neurological disease diagnosis using deep learning

A team of researchers has developed MNet, an automatic diagnosis system for neurological diseases using magnetoencephalography (MEG), demonstrating the possibility of making automatic neurological disease diagnoses using MEG.

Study paves way for better treatment of lingering concussion symptoms

The results of the studyshow that significant levels of fatigue and poorer brain function can persist for months, or even years, following concussion.

Antibiotic treatment alleviates Alzheimer’s disease symptoms in male mice

Researchers have demonstrated that the type of bacteria living in the gut can influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease symptoms in mice. The study shows that, by altering the gut microbiome, long-term antibiotic treatment reduces inflammation a…

Brain network activity can improve in epilepsy patients after surgery

Successful epilepsy surgery can improve brain connectivity similar to patterns seen in people without epilepsy.

Jawless fish take a bite out of the blood-brain barrier

A jawless parasitic fish could help lead the way to more effective treatments for multiple brain ailments, including cancer, trauma and stroke. Researchers borrowed molecules from the immune system of the parasitic sea lamprey to deliver anti-cancer dr…

Memories are strengthened via brainwaves produced during sleep, new study shows

New research brings us closer to understanding how learned information turns into reliable memories during sleep.

Brain stimulation improves working memory in adults

Magnetic stimulation of the brain improves working memory, offering a new potential avenue of therapy for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

Twitter image colors and content could help identify users with depression, anxiety

A new study shows users who score high on a depression and anxiety survey often post photos that are less aesthetically appealing, less vivid in color or display little depth of field.

Researchers block protein that plays a key role in Alzheimer’s disease

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear to researchers that the protein galectin-3 is involved in inflammatory diseases in the brain. A study now shows the de facto key role played by the protein in Alzheimer’s disease. When the researchers s…

Molecular basis of brain dysfunction and embryo malformation associated with thalidomide

Scientists have identified the molecule involved in thalidomide-related dysfunctions associated with in utero brain and organ development. Their in vivo results using a zebrafish model of mammalian development showed that thalidomide binds to a protein…
