Traumatic head injury can have widespread effects in the brain, but now scientists can look in real time at how head injury affects thousands of individual cells and genes simultaneously in mice. This approach could lead to precise treatments for traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study, which reported in Nature Communications, was supported by the… Continue reading Scientists Can Now Study Thousands of Individual Brain Cells

“Big Data” Studies Help in Fight Against Alzheimer’s
Scientists at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital have used a powerful tool to better understand the progression of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), identifying its first physiological signs. Led by Dr. Alan Evans, a professor of neurology, neurosurgery and biomedical engineering at the institute, the researchers analyzed more than 7,700 brain images from 1,171 people… Continue reading “Big Data” Studies Help in Fight Against Alzheimer’s
