Dual-phase deep learning models improve pancreatic cyst risk assessment
Pancreatic cystic lesions are being found more frequently as cross-sectional imaging becomes more common. Their clinical importance varies…
New microscope tracks electrical activity across the brain on the scale of milliseconds
Within the brain, neurons compute by generating electrical impulses. These signals travel throughout neurons, which are in turn connected in vast networks that control brain functions such as sensory perception,…
Persistent financial hardship tracks with poorer memory and processing speed by midlife
Seven decades of cohort data connect chronic financial strain with cognitive differences by midlife and complex patterns of…
New ultrasound technique breaches blood brain barrier to treat gliomas
In a promising sign for the potential of focused sound waves to improve care for brain tumors, UVA…
A closer look at Parkinson’s brains finds tau where standard tests saw little
By examining six brain regions at single-molecule resolution, researchers identified a layer of tau pathology that conventional tissue…
Chemistry in Pictures: Echoes of microplastics
These blood-red clumps are what polypropylene microplastics look like in the body of a live mouse, as…
Amyloid beta misfolding predicts Alzheimer’s years before symptoms appear
Widely used Alzheimer’s biomarker P-tau 217 reliably detects the disease only at the clinical stage. The protein misfolding…
Alliance Medical opens new €4.5 million imaging centre in Tralee
A new €4.5 million imaging centre has opened in Tralee. Alliance Medical, which provides diagnostic healthcare services, opened…
Two heart nerve cell types sustain cardiac stability in mice
A mouse study maps two specialized nerve cell populations within the heart, revealing how one supports everyday cardiac…
New imaging platform tracks hundreds of neurons at unprecedented depths
The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in…
Frequent TV watching links to higher white matter lesion volume
A 24-year ARIC analysis suggests that the setting in which people sit may matter for brain measures linked…
