Brain Changes in Non-Demented Individuals: Examining Long-Term Atrophy in Different Cohorts

Imagine you’re comparing different cars to see how their engines age over time – the goal is to figure out if certain types of engine issues are unique to specific car models. Similarly, this study explores whether differences in brain atrophy patterns can distinguish individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), those with Nondemented Subjects with Increased […]

Diving into the Nutritional Seas: A Genetic Investigation of Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and Parkinson’s Disease

Imagine you’re a detective investigating a crime, but instead of clues, you’re searching for answers within the nutritional seas. That’s what this study did by using genetics to explore the relationship between polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Similar to how genetic variants serve as instrumental variables in Mendelian randomization, this study used […]
