Researchers at the Salk Institute, collaborating globally, have analyzed over half a million brain cells to compile a detailed atlas of the human brain's cell types. This groundbreaking study applies techniques previously used in mice to human brains, ushering in a new age of understanding in brain development, aging, and disease

A recent review article by neuroscience researchers at Wayne State University suggests that neurofilament light (NfL) blood levels could serve as a reliable biomarker for predicting the rate of neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's disease.

Researchers have revealed that common viruses play an important role in some cases of Alzheimer’s disease. They elaborated that herpes simplex virus type 1 when found in the human brain along with a specific genetic factor led to a higher risk of developing the disease.

Researchers at the University of Bath and the University of Bristol have received a 1.5-million-pound fund to scale-up the testing and development of their simple yet revolutionary test – Fastball EEG which helps to detect Dementia and Alzheimer’s early on.

Researchers at University of Michigan developed a method to produce artificially grown miniature brains — called human brain organoids — free of animal cells that could greatly improve the way neurodegenerative conditions are studied and, eventually, treated.

In the post-emergency phase of the Covid-19 pandemic, scientists are focusing on real-time surveillance methods for indoor environments to detect viruses. At the forefront of these efforts, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have harnessed the power of cutting-edge aerosol sampling and ultrasensitive biosensing technology.

Scientists have recently discovered that the temporal pole region of the brain surface has critical functions in word comprehension, face recognition and the regulation of behavior. It is interesting to note that researchers struggled to link a specific function to this region of the brain for the first 100 years of research on the cortex.

Researchers have developed a new technique – Nano-Quic (Nanoparticle-enhanced Quaking-Induced Conversion) which helps to reduce detection times significantly from about 14 hours to only four hours and increases the sensitivity by a factor of 10 as compared to the existing advanced protein-misfolding detection methods used for neurodegenerative diseases.

Once adults reach age 65, the threshold age for the onset of Alzheimer’s disease, the extent of their genetic risk may outweigh age as a predictor of whether they will develop the fatal brain disorder, a new study suggests.

A second major study from the Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study has concluded that a daily intake of multivitamin supplements can help improve memory as well as slow cognitive aging in older adults.
