Unlocking the secrets of Alzheimer’s disease is like unraveling a complex puzzle. Scientists have long identified genetic variants associated with AD, but understanding their significance has been challenging due to the strong linkage between these variants. To tackle this issue, researchers turned to transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) and employed the Joint-Tissue Imputation (JTI) approach in […]
Think of physical activity as a shield that protects the intricate wiring of the brain. In this study, researchers investigated whether being physically active could help preserve the integrity of white matter in individuals experiencing aging or prodromal to mild Alzheimer’s disease with vascular comorbidity. They recruited a total of 213 participants who were classified […]
Imagine deep brain stimulation as a mystical ballet, where the dancers (electrodes) perform different moves and rhythms to influence the entire performance (neuronal firing and network effects). Conventional high-frequency stimulation is like a steady waltz, but emerging alternative patterns offer exciting possibilities. These patterns include theta-frequencies, variable frequencies, coordinated reset stimulation, and more. Scientists are […]
