Imagine you’re a DJ trying to mix the perfect track. You want to find the right balance of beats and melodies that will get everyone on their feet. Similar to this, scientists are trying to optimize spiking neural models of the striatum, a brain structure involved in action selection. They want to understand how the […]
It’s like studying different paintings to understand the art world. Genomic research has given us incredible insights into the complex genetics behind neurodegenerative diseases. However, most studies have focused on individuals of European ancestry, leaving out important information from other populations. Recent studies have shown that genetic variations have varying effects on disease risk and […]
Think of the brain as a complex puzzle. Researchers have used a data-driven approach to uncover one of the main pieces that contributes to cognitive functioning in Parkinson’s disease (PD). By analyzing positron emission tomography (PET) imaging data, they identified cholinergic centro-cingulate topography as a key factor in cognitive impairment. This region, responsible for coordinating […]
