| | Watch Now: Neuroimaging Using Ultra-high Field MRI
Dr. Mathieu D. Santin describes real-case studies using ultra-high field MRI for in vivo and ex vivo imaging in the context of neurodegenerative diseases, including demyelinating diseases, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis. This is an on-demand webinar that is freely available.

| | Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterised by recurrent episodes of seizures. Most cases of epilepsy do not have a clear cause. The primary pathogenesis of many forms of epilepsy is an abnormal expression of certain receptors in the brain that lead to enhanced excitation and reduced inhibition, leading to increased neural activity. | | | | Scientists have been developing astounding new tools for exploring neural circuits that underlie brain function throughout the first five years of the National Institutes of Health's Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies Initiative. | | | | Using sex-specific scores on memory tests may change the diagnosis for 20 percent of those currently diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), with possibly more women and fewer men being diagnosed with MCI, according to a new study published online in the journal Neurology. | | | | Messy tangles of a protein called tau can be found in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease and some other neurodegenerative diseases. In Alzheimer's, the tangles coalesce just before tissue damage becomes visible in brain scans and people start to become forgetful and confused. | |
