Ethical oversight of animal and human experimentsAll animal experimentation was conducted following approval by local authorities of the Federal State of Berlin (X9007/17). All test animals lived in standardized conditions where temperature, humidity, and...

Structural MRI imaging biomarkers have been extensively studied, including cortical folding aspects of Alzheimer’s Disease23 and Mild Cognitive Impairment24. However, investigating cortical morphological measurements (or their combinations) is not straightforward since only a few...

A groundbreaking study from the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing (Penn Nursing), recently published in Innovation in Aging, has shown promising results in improving the quality of life (QOL) and sleep quality in...

Researchers at the University of Queensland have revealed the crucial role of saturated fatty acids in the brain's consolidation of memories. Dr Isaac Akefe from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute has uncovered the molecular mechanism and...
