When it comes to medical imaging, a chatbot doesn't know its backside from its elbow. Or, at least, it can't tell a spine from a knee. But if a Boston University research team is successful, a smarter AI system for…
Avoiding three things in middle age is linked to 13 more years without dementia, experts have said. Having normal blood pressure, no diabetes and not smoking from age 45 to 65 keeps dementia at bay ...
Maintaining normal blood pressure, avoiding diabetes, and not smoking in midlife adds nearly 13 dementia-free years.
Alzheimer's disease has traditionally been studied as a condition that primarily affects the brain's gray matter, where neuronal cell bodies are located and some of the disease's most characteristic lesions accumulate…
How you manage three health factors may affect your risk of developing dementia sooner rather than later, a new study has found.
Three midlife factors could delay the onset of dementia by more than a decade, a new study has found.
Dementia can be delayed for 13 years by avoiding three major risk factors in midlife, scientists have said. Those with diabetes, high blood pressure and who smoked between the ages of 45 and 65 ...
It's not clear exactly how dementia gets started or might be stopped, but we do know that there are many different risk factors for the condition, ranging from hearing impairments to breathing ...
A study involving 12,000 adults in the US suggests that taking action to prevent dementia during your 50s can make a big difference later in life ...
Look at a group of kids, and you're going to see many different shapes and sizes.
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by disruptions in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. People with this condition often experience extreme sleepiness during the day and, in some cases, a…

In the late 1990s, Malaysia created a new way for corporations to raise money by issuing bonds that comply with Islamic law, which prohibits the payment or collection of interest.
Cells in the brain communicate in different ways. The classical mode involves tight connections between individual cells that signal only to each other. But over the last decade, new tools have ...
When Eric Stallard, an actuary and academic, began looking into the incidence of dementia among elderly Americans, he was so stunned by his findings that he held off publishing his first paper on the ...
Certain variants in the PSPH gene, which encodes an enzyme called phosphoserine phosphatase, prevent the body from making sufficient amounts of the amino acid L-serine, leading to a range of nervous system problems. New…
Recursion, Roche, and its Genentech subsidiary have announced plans to co-develop a neuroscience discovery program based on the first validated target discovered through an AI map they created to find ...
New research reveals a modified vitamin B12 therapy may enhance brain cancer treatment by effectively crossing the blood-brain barrier.
Discover 5 nutrient-rich foods linked to brain health, memory support, and healthy aging, from omega-3-rich fish to antioxidant-packed fruits.
It’s not hard to imagine this scene: you show up at a friend’s place with a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates for the toddler. You hand over the flowers to the parents, and the toddler gets the ...

Economics shapes many aspects of our daily lives, from the prices we pay to the policies governments adopt. Yet many of the ideas taught as universal principles of economics emerged from a narrow historical context and…
Researchers at New York University's Langone Health checked more than 12,000 people without dementia at 55, including some who have high blood pressure, some with type 2 diabetes and others who smoke ...
The locus coeruleus (LC) is the primary source of noradrenergic (NE) neurons in the central nervous system, with extensive neural projections throughout the brain, serving as a key ascending modulatory center for…
This study examined the effects of aging and bilingualism on neural speech perception in Spanish-English (SE) bilinguals and American English (AE) monolinguals. As the population of bilingual older adults continues to…
BackgroundThe integration of virtual reality (VR) technologies into clinical rehabilitation and diagnostics is rapidly expanding, yet the neurophysiological mechanisms of their influence on spinal motor circuits remain…
PurposeResearch has shown that augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) has the potential to function not only as a compensatory communicative strategy, but also as a tool to facilitate language recovery for…
IntroductionMany studies have examined the neural bases of word translation based on the revised hierarchical model (RHM). However, the findings reported thus far, mostly focusing on advanced or elementary…
