Discovering Highly Sensitive Brain Networks in Schizophrenia

Unraveling the intricacies of brain connectivity alterations in schizophrenia is challenging but crucial. Rather than relying on hypothesis-based methods, a data-driven approach can pave the way for a systematic understanding. In this study, researchers used independent component analysis to explore connectivity patterns in individuals with schizophrenia and healthy controls. The analysis revealed three specific brain […]

Promising Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease-like Pathology!

Imagine a noninvasive technique that can stimulate brain activity and potentially treat Alzheimer’s disease! In a study using an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology, researchers investigated the effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on oxidative stress and reactive astrogliosis. The results were exciting! The icv STZ injection induced oxidative stress in the brain […]
