$3 million NIH grant to support research on Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will use a unique combination of imaging techniques to study Alzheimer's disease on a scale that's never been done before.

Study reveals how neural networks play a key role in the regulation of circadian rhythms

Circadian rhythms are inherent cycles of approximately 24 hours that regulate various biological processes, such as sleep and wakefulness.

Researchers create large-scale 2D and 3D spatial maps of colorectal cancer

In the United States, turning 45 brings with it a rather unpleasant rite of passage: the beginning of regular colonoscopies, in which an endoscope equipped with a light and a camera is used to visually check the colon for signs of cancer.

Transient ischemic attack needs emergency assessment to help prevent a full-blown stroke

Stroke symptoms that disappear in under an hour, known as a transient ischemic attack (TIA), need emergency assessment to help prevent a full-blown stroke, according to a new American Heart Association scientific statement published today in the Association's journal Stroke.

New scan reliably detects primary aldosteronism, a common cause of hypertension

In a recent article, researchers performed a prospective within-patient clinical trial, Is Metomidate superior to AVS in predicting ouTComes from adrenalectomy in primary Hyperaldosteronism (MATCH) in the United Kingdom (UK) in primary aldosteronism (PA) patients. These patients suffered from high blood pressure caused by a steroid hormone, aldosterone.

Study explores the role of endocannabinoids in hazardous drinking among young adults

Although heavy drinking in young adulthood increases the risk for alcohol use disorder (AUD), not all young heavy drinkers go on to develop AUD, globally the most common substance use disorder.

Semantic networks in the brains of schizophrenia patients found to be different from healthy individuals

In a study published last month in Schizophrenia Bulletin, researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University revealed that the semantic networks in the brains of schizophrenia patients are very different from those in healthy humans.

New method uses a powerful 7-Tesla MRI scanner to visualize the cerebellum

The cerebellum, or our little brain, is mainly responsible for our motor skills. Furthermore, the structure is important for behavior and cognition.

New tool for noninvasive imaging can help illuminate hard-to-access brain structures

Talk about a bright idea: Thanks to chemists at Rice University and Stanford University, lighting up the brain is no longer just a figure of speech.

Dementia risk in women may be reduced by hormone replacement therapy

Women are at greater risk for dementia than men, probably because of waning estrogen levels following menopause. Estrogen is a key female hormone linked to reproductive, sexual, and neurological functions. A new study published in the journal Alzheimer's Research & Therapy examines how hormone replacement works in women with a high genetic risk for AD.

Reconstructing MRI scans with AI promises to expand MRI access to more patients

Artificial intelligence (AI) can reconstruct coarsely-sampled, rapid magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans into high-quality images with similar diagnostic value as those generated through traditional MRI, according to a new study by the NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Meta AI Research.

What are the major findings of long COVID research?

Researchers explored existing literature on long coronavirus disease (COVID). They highlighted key immunological findings, similarities with other diseases, symptoms, and associated pathophysiological mechanisms, and diagnostic and therapeutic options, including COVID-19 vaccinations.
