More biomarkers for better insights on Alzheimer's disease: a new study explores how a panel of seven proteins could help predict disease progression and inform more accurate treatment choices.
How does performing robotic surgery exact stress on surgeons? A new study monitored brain, muscle, and heart activity to improve surgical training, operating-room design, and surgeon well-being.
A diffusion MRI metric can detect changes in white matter tracts not visible on conventional MRI – this could help identify early abnormalities in the brain associated with Alzheimer’s disease.
The cause of hallucinations and delusions that start in midlife or later is often unclear. In a new study, PET/MR scans reveal that these symptoms may be linked to brain changes also seen in dementia.
