Unleashing the Power of Machine Learning in Schizophrenia Diagnosis

Imagine if identifying schizophrenia was like solving a complex puzzle. Scientists have discovered that certain brainwave patterns, known as event-related potentials (ERPs), are linked to cognitive deficits in patients with schizophrenia. By applying machine learning techniques, like Multiple Kernel Learning (MKL) classifiers, researchers can find the optimal combination of these brainwave patterns to improve diagnosis […]

The Protective Power of Estrogen: Exploring the Neurobiology of Perimenopausal Depression

Imagine your brain as a bustling city with different pathways and channels that help messages travel. In perimenopausal depression, one such pathway called the BDNF-TRPC6 signaling pathway experiences some troubles. It turns out that estradiol (E2), a form of estrogen, can come to the rescue! Scientists have discovered that E2 has neuroprotective effects by boosting […]

Association of Cerebral Small Vessel Disease With Gait and Balance Disorders

Just like a bunch of mischievous characters shaking up a perfectly organized dance routine, cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) can throw our gait and balance into disarray. CSVD, a common cerebrovascular disease, has been found to be linked with gait and balance disorders that can increase the risk of falls and lower quality of life. […]
