Think of your body as a bustling city with different neighborhoods. In this study, scientists zoomed in on a particular neighborhood called ‘inflammatory biomarkers’ and examined its relationship with another neighborhood called ‘delirium.’ Using a fancy technique called Mendelian randomization (MR), they analyzed genetic instruments associated with various inflammatory biomarkers and their impact on the […]
Just like a detective puts together the pieces of a crime, scientists are uncovering how sensory deficits contribute to the complex puzzle of Alzheimer’s disease. While AD primarily affects cognition, researchers have started to recognize the prevalence of sensory impairments and their potential role as diagnostic biomarkers. This literature review explores the sensory deficits and […]
Imagine you have a magical flashlight that can turn neurons on and off. Well, that’s essentially what optogenetics does! Using a combination of computer models and simulations, scientists have been studying how effective optogenetic stimulation is in CA1 neurons – a part of the brain associated with epilepsy. They found that by targeting specific areas […]
