Brain’s electrical activity could predict Alzheimer’s development
Brain’s electrical activity could predict Alzheimer’s development Researchers have identified a brain-based biomarker that can predict whether mild cognitive impairment will develop into Alzheimer’s disease using electrical activity from neurons. A custom-built tool, called the Spectral Events Toolbox, was used to analyze brain activity recordings from 85 patients diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment and monitored […]

How alcohol abuse damages decision-making brain circuits
How alcohol abuse damages decision-making brain circuits Researchers have demonstrated that heavy alcohol use can damage brain circuits critical for decision-making in rats, leading to long-term behavioral issues. The study found that even after a monthslong withdrawal period, rats exposed to high amounts of alcohol exhibited poor decision-making during a complex task. The researchers linked […]
