Unleashing the Power of Ultrafast Imaging to Decode Neuron Models!

Imagine you have a super detailed blueprint of a house, but you want to know what each room does. By using ultrafast cameras that capture every movement and interaction inside, scientists are decoding the function of tiny gatekeepers called ion channels in our brain cells. Neuron modeling, guided by this high-speed imaging data, holds the […]

Serum Chloride Reveals Impending Respiratory Decompensation in ALS Patients

Imagine you’re driving a car and suddenly your dashboard lights up, warning you that your gas tank is running dangerously low. Just like that, scientists have discovered a marker in the blood that can serve as an early warning sign for respiratory failure in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). In this study, researchers looked […]

Revolutionizing Brain Training with VR and AI

Imagine you’re at the gym, working out your muscles to make them stronger. Now imagine doing the same thing, but for your brain! Researchers have come up with a way to combine two powerful technologies – virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) – to help people with mild neurocognitive impairment. In a recent study, […]
