Researchers from the NYU… Read Full Article (External Site) Dr. David LowemannDr. David Lowemann, M.Sc, […]

A Plane-Dependent Model of 3D Grid Cells for Representing Both 2D and 3D Spaces Under Various Navigation Modes

Grid cells are crucial in path integration and representation of the external world. The spikes of grid cells spatially form clusters called grid fields, which encode important information about allocentric positions. To decode the information, studying the spatial structures of grid fields is a key task for both experimenters and theorists. Experiments reveal that grid […]

Detection of Cerebrospinal Fluid Neurofilament Light Chain as a Marker for Alpha-Synucleinopathies

Alpha-synucleinopathies, such as Parkinson’s disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), are a class of neurodegenerative diseases. A diagnosis may be challenging because clinical symptoms partially overlap, and there is currently no reliable diagnostic test available. Therefore, we aimed to identify a suitable marker protein in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to […]
