Detecting Alzheimer’s Disease With Advanced Brain Scans

Imagine you’re a detective trying to solve a mysterious case. You gather evidence from multiple sources, carefully examining each piece for clues. Similarly, in the field of artificial intelligence (AI), scientists have been using brain scans to predict Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, previous approaches only focused on analyzing either the entire brain or individual slices, […]

A New Blood Test for Predicting Deterioration Risk of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

Just like a doctor uses different tools to diagnose a patient, scientists are exploring new ways to predict deterioration risk of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Instead of relying solely on cranial computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, researchers are investigating blood biomarkers as a potential early indicator. Inflammation is a key factor in unfavorable […]

Unlocking the Secrets of Cognitive Aging Through Diffusion Tensor Imaging

Imagine aging as a journey through a dense forest, where your cognitive abilities are the paths you take. Traditional studies have focused on the age differences between different people. But what if we’ve been missing something within ourselves? This groundbreaking research used diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to investigate how our brain’s white matter changes over […]
