Unlocking the Relationship Between Brain Changes and Blood Flow in Alzheimer’s Disease

Imagine your brain is like a bustling city, with busy roads and intricate buildings. In Alzheimer’s disease, those roads and structures start to deteriorate. Scientists conducted a study to understand how changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and gray matter microstructure are linked in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). They found […]

A Two-Stage Neural Network for Parkinson’s Disease Stages

Just like a two-part dance routine, this study introduces a neural network model that classifies the initial stages of Parkinson’s disease. The first stage uses semantic segmentation to analyze the sensor signals and gather valuable biomechanical variables. In the second stage, a multidimensional neural network takes input from the biomechanical variables, spectrogram image, and raw […]

Unlocking the Secrets of Neuronal ApoE4 in Alzheimer’s Disease

Imagine a bustling city with different neighborhoods, each playing a specific role. In our bodies, there’s a gene called Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) that acts like a neighborhood, with three types of residents – ApoE2, ApoE3, and ApoE4. Unfortunately, ApoE4 has been identified as the troublemaker in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). This mischievous resident can cause havoc […]
