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. Watch Now

Study reveals link between alterations in RNA splicing and Alzheimer's disease   A collaborative study published today in the journal Cell Reports provides evidence for a new molecular cause for neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.         More brain pathology and hospitalizations associated with faster rate of cognitive decline   Older people who experienced more hospitalizations and also had more Alzheimer's pathology in their brain experienced the fastest rates of cognitive decline, according to study results published in the October 15 online issue of the Annals of Neurology.

What Can We Learn from EEG’s of Patient’s with Epilepsy?   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.       New NIH BRAIN Initiative awards accelerate the pace of neuroscience research   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.       New findings can redefine the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment in men and women   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.       Suppressing brain immune cells might prevent or delay the onset of dementia   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.
