How does the brain adapt our behavior in response to an infection or injury? A multidisciplinary team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, CNRS and Inserm have revealed the existence of a circuit involved...

New research from Duke found that people who imagined being a thief scouting a virtual art museum in preparation for a heist were better at remembering the paintings they saw, compared to people who...

The secret to protecting your memory may be a staple of a bodybuilder's diet. RUSH researchers recently discovered that a muscle-building supplement called beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate, also called HMB, may help protect memory, reduce plaques...

A team, including researchers from the UC San Francisco Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging, investigated a new imaging tool for monitoring response to therapies in patients with glioblastoma (GBM). The...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has disabled 1 to 2% of the population, and one of their most common disabilities is problems with short-term memory. Electrical stimulation has emerged as a viable tool to improve...

We are excited to welcome three new faculty members to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) Department of Radiology and Biomedical Imaging. Christopher Brunson, MD, an interventional radiologist, will join...

Participants and clinical diagnosticsAll participants were part of the BioFINDER-1 (NCT01208675; n = 398) or BioFINDER-2 (NCT03174938; n = 485) studies, described previously34,40,41. The inclusion criteria were (1) referred to participating secondary memory clinics due to cognitive symptoms...

A team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Leicester have discovered that the genes required for learning, memory, aggression and other complex behaviours originated around 650 million years ago. The findings led...

Participants characteristicsThe BioFINDER-2 cohort included 448 individuals, the majority of whom had cognitive impairment (281, 63%): 81 cognitively unimpaired Aβ negative (CU−), 79 cognitively unimpaired Aβ positive (CU+), 90 Aβ positive with mild cognitive impairment...
