New AI platform detects neurodegenerative diseases in brain tissue samples

Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence platform to detect a range of neurodegenerative disease in human brain tissue samples, including Alzheimer's disease and chronic traumatic encephalopathy, according to a study conducted at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and published in the Nature medical journal Laboratory Investigation.

	Epithelial to Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Neuroscience and Cancer This article provides a comprehensive guide to the tools needed in the study of epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) in both neuroscience and cancer.

	Neuron-derived estrogen key to making memories Estrogen in the brain is important to keep neurons communicating and memories being made, scientists report.

	Bioactive compounds in mushrooms may fight neurodegeneration in later life New research suggests that mild cognitive impairment could be prevented in people over the age of 60 by simply eating mushrooms more than twice a week.

	Research team identifies potential target protein aggregates for treating Alzheimer's disease The aggregation of alpha-synuclein proteins in Parkinson's disease and tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease is intimately linked to the progression of these neurodegenerative diseases. These aggregates propagate from one neuronal cell to another, attaching themselves to the cells.

	Neurobiology of functional neurological disorder revealed using brain scans An investigation led by a team of researchers from the Massachusetts General Hospital departments of Neurology, Psychiatry and Radiology has found altered connectivity among brain regions that handle sensorimotor, emotional and cognitive signaling in patients with functional neurological disorder, a common condition involving neurologic symptoms that have no readily apparent physical cause.

	Physical and mental activities in middle age may play a role in preventing dementia Keeping physically and mentally active in middle age may be tied to a lower risk of developing dementia decades later, according to a study published in the medical journal Neurology.

	Researchers identify way to improve common treatment for PTSD Researchers may have found a way to improve a common treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder by changing how the brain learns to respond less severely to fearful conditions, according to research published in Journal of Neuroscience.

	Artificial neural networks can predict how different areas in the brain respond to words Can artificial intelligence (AI) help us understand how the brain understands language? Can neuroscience help us understand why AI and neural networks are effective at predicting human perception?
