September 18, 2024 by McGill University Credit: Jonathan Gallego RudolfAmyloid-beta and tau proteins have long been associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The pathological buildup of these proteins leads to cognitive decline in people with the disease. How it does that, though, remains poorly understood. A new study from the labs of Sylvain Baillet at The Neuro...
by National Institutes of Health Credit: Tima Miroshnichenko from PexelsResearchers at the National Institutes of Health have found overactivation in many brain regions, including the frontal and parietal lobes and the amygdala, in unmedicated children with anxiety disorders. They also showed that treatment with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) led to improvements in clinical symptoms and brain...
by Ingrid Fadelli , Medical Xpress MEG recordings are continuously aligned to the deep representation of the images, which can then condition the generation of images at each instant. Credit: Défossez et al. Recent technological advancements have opened invaluable opportunities for assisting people who are experiencing impairments or disabilities. For instance, they have enabled the...
New types of experiments indicate that many neuronal features commonly attributed to the soma originate from dendritic mechanisms could impact research of the origin of degenerative diseases, and sleep and awake states of brain activity.Peer-Reviewed Publication BAR-ILAN UNIVERSITY A PARADIGM SHIFT IN BRAIN RESEARCH: THE NEW NEURON AND THE NEW TYPE OF LEARNING – CONTNIUE....

The system might help people who are mentally conscious yet unable to physically speak, such as those debilitated by strokes, to communicate intelligibly again. The study in the journal Nature Neuroscience was led by Jerry Tang, a doctoral student in computer science, and Alex Huth, an assistant professor of neuroscience and computer science at the University of Texas at...
Two of the patients showed a surge of gamma wave activity, considered the fastest brain activity and associated with consciousness.

by University of Texas at Austin Researchers Alex Huth (left), Jerry Tang (right) and Shailee Jain (center) prepare to collect brain activity data in the Biomedical Imaging Center at The University of Texas at Austin. The researchers trained their semantic decoder on dozens of hours of brain activity data from members of the lab, collected in...

Roughly 900,000 Britons have injections containing botulinum toxin each year Studies show the injections reduce the patient’s ability to express emotions By EVE SIMMONS FOR THE MAIL ON SUNDAY UPDATED: 19:11 EDT, 25 March 2023 Botox injections could impair the ability to recognise others’ feelings, research suggests. In a study that involved looking at happy and sad faces,...
