MRI Exams Validate Patients affected by Long-term Lyme disease have functional, structural brain abnormalities
A lot of individuals suffer from Lyme disease. It is one of the most widespread vector-borne infectious diseases. 10-20% of people deal with post-treatment Lyme disease symptoms in spite of the necessary antibiotic treatment. Cognitive issues are evident among patients with PTLD, indicating that the disease, when it persists for a certain period, can impact […]
The Fate of the Person Guilty of a Homicide Depends on Her Brain Scans’ Varying inferences
According to a new research study by a reputed neuroscientist from an esteemed University in Chicago, individuals who commit murders have reduced gray matter. Mainly in the brain’s regions linked with social cognition, behavioral regulation and emotional processing, reductions in gray matter were evident. The same condition was not apparent in people guilty of other […]
The Latest MRI Algorithm Might Bring More Epilepsy Patients Under Surgical Purview
Since times immemorial, diseases have bothered mankind. However, with an ever-curious mind, humankind has more often than not found a cure for most of these diseases. Similarly, there have also been diseases that still worry us. One such disease is epilepsy. Commonly characterized by stiffness of muscles, uncontrollable jerks, and abrupt spells of unconsciousness, epilepsy […]
Extremely Important MRI Findings Confirmed Interconnection Between Brain’s Structure And Hyperthyroidism
MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging is one of the most reliable imaging technologies these days. Flawless detection of diseases accentuates the pace of treatment and recovery. MRI is particularly important for patients, suffering from critical ailments. The critical enzymatic reactions within the human body leave behind some traces easily recognizable through imaging MRI is one […]
Brain Iron Buildup Is Associated With Cognitive Decline In Alzheimer’s Patients
Brain health is integral to overall healthcare. There is no denying the fact that the brain is the one part of the body that remains responsible for the well-being of all other parts of the human body. If the brain fails to work optimally, the physiological activities get jeopardized as well. Hence, maintaining brain health […]
Exercise increases blood flow to the brain, helps memory
Deteriorating Memory? Exercise More for Improved Blood Flow and Regain Memory At present, more than 5 million Americans suffer from Alzheimer’s disease, and this number is believed to get triple by the year 2050. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find ways to slow down the progression of dementia. Keeping that in mind, UT […]
fMRI and Fetal Gender Brains
Male and female human brains tend to go in separate directions right from the womb. In a recent study published in the April edition of Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, researchers have revealed that functional connectivity is different between sexes from the very early stages of neurodevelopment. Resting-state functional MRI or fMRI was used to image the […]
The International Group Uses AI to Study Cellular Structure in Brain
Taking the potential of Artificial Intelligence a step further, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) used machine learning and non-invasive neuroimaging data to unravel valuable insights deep into the cellular structure of the human brain. According to scientists, this would aid in revealing key cellular properties of various regions of […]
