What does the sleeping brain think about? — ScienceDaily
We sleep on average one third of our time. But what does the brain do during these long hours? Using an artificial intelligence approach capable of decoding brain activity during sleep, scientists at the...
Essential roles of plexin-B3+ oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease
Purification and culture of aOPCs from the adult rat brainDensity gradients have often been used to purify microglia and hippocampal NSPCs from adult rodent brains (gradients spanning 1.030–1.065 g/ml in the case of microglia16,17,18 and...
Adapting Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias Clinical Research Evaluations in the Age of COVID-19
In March 2020, the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) became a global pandemic that would cause most in-person visits for clinical studies to be put on pause. Coupled with protective stay at home guidelines, clinical research...
Synaptic plasticity depends on molecular hauler KIF5C, carrier of more than 650 RNAs, study...
The brain is wired for learning. With each experience, our neurons branch out to make new connections, laying down the circuitry of our long-term memories. Scientists call this trait plasticity, referring to an ability...
Multiscale criticality measures as general-purpose gauges of proper brain function
All experiments reported here were performed in accordance with the guidelines of the Helsinki declaration.Data preprocessingData were preprocessed separately for each sensor type (EEG, MEG gradiometers and magnetometers) and were analyzed using a combination...
UCSF Radiology Residents Give Back to the Bay Area Community
UCSF Radiology residents are the faces of the future of radiology. As radiology trainees, they take part in a varied radiology practice, gaining leadership experience in teaching, patient-focused research, and...
Implication of metabolic and dopamine transporter PET in dementia with Lewy bodies
ParticipantsThe study participants comprised 63 patients clinically diagnosed with cognitive impairment due to DLB, as reported in our previous study8, and 49 cognitively healthy controls. Subjects underwent neurological examination, neuropsychological tests, Mini-Mental State Examination...
Parosmia in Right-lateralized Semantic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia: A Case Report
Parosmia, defined as the distorted perception of an odor stimulus, has been reported to be associated with head trauma, upper respiratory tract infections, sinonasal diseases, and toxin/drug consumption. To date, little is known about...
A redundant modular network supports proper brain communication — ScienceDaily
Recall a phone number or directions just recited and your brain will be actively communicating across many regions. It is thought that working memory relies on interactions between these regions, but how these brain...
