Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, MIT researchers find information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of its connections.
The New York Genome Center (NYGC) has launched of the MacMillan Center for the Study of the Non-Coding Cancer Genome (MCSNCG), a major new initiative in cancer research to study the role and function of the non-coding genome and epigenome in the evolution, progression, and treatment of multiple cancer types, including breast, ovary, pancreas, gastrointestinal, […]
A large-scale biobank-based study performed in Finland has discovered several new disease genes as well as new insights on how known genetic factors affect disease. The study highlights an under-appreciated complexity in the dosage effects of genetic variants.
Over the past 15 years, more than 200 sites in the human genome have been linked to risk for coronary artery disease (CAD), the leading cause of death worldwide. Still, researchers don’t fully understand how those genomic variations alter the function of proteins, cells, or tissues to cause illness — knowledge that could inform the […]
An anti-ageing gene discovered in a population of centenarians has been shown to rewind the heart’s biological age by 10 years. The breakthrough, published in Cardiovascular Research and led by scientists at the University of Bristol and the MultiMedica Group in Italy, offers a potential target for patients with heart failure.
Infection prevention and control are crucial for guaranteeing patient safety in operating theatres. When it comes to endoscopy, meticulous cleaning and high-level disinfection is needed to ensure clean and safe use of endoscopes, on subsequent patients.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an established treatment option for patients suffering from Parkinson’s disease. In a neurosurgical pro-cedure two electrodes are implanted in the brain to permanently stimulate specific brain regions. Setting the stimulation parameters, however, is a complex process. A research team at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin has developed an algorithm that may […]
A Cedars-Sinai study suggests physicians treating dementia should look for cerebrospinal fluid leak – a treatable cause of an otherwise incurable condition.
A healthy lifestyle, in particular a healthy diet, is associated with slower memory decline, finds a decade-long study of older adults in China, published in The BMJ [1].
A group of neuroscientists led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine researcher developed a test to detect a novel marker of Alzheimer’s disease neurodegeneration in a blood sample. A study on their results was published 27 December 2022 in Brain [1].
