APOE and sex: Key Players in Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology

Just like how ingredients in a recipe can impact the final dish, the combination of age, APOE genotype, and sex have been found to influence the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in EFAD transgenic mice. In this study, researchers observed the effects of these factors on amyloid beta (Aβ) pathology, neuroinflammation, and behavior in vivo. […]

Understanding Eye Alignment and Vergence in Parkinson’s Disease

Imagine trying to focus on two different things at the same time. That’s what it’s like for some people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) who experience double vision, or diplopia. In this study, researchers used high-resolution video-oculography to examine how PD affects eye alignment and vergence, which is the ability to bring both eyes together to […]

Enhancing EEG-based Person Identification with Spatially Fused Functional Connectivity Network

Imagine a puzzle where each piece represents an electroencephalogram (EEG) channel, and when you connect the pieces, you uncover the unique identity of a person. Traditionally, EEG functional connectivity (FC) networks have been constructed by analyzing the statistical dependence between EEG channels without considering their spatial relationships. However, researchers have found that by incorporating the […]
