Pesquisadores criam “minicérebros” para modelar a demência por corpos de Lewy e identificar tratamentos
Mayo Clinic

A demência por corpos de Lewy (DCL) é uma doença neurodegenerativa progressiva que compartilha características tanto da doença de Parkinson quanto da doença de Alzheimer, mas que pode ser mais difícil de ser diagnosticada. Os sintomas podem incluir alucinações, distúrbios do movimento, problemas cognitivos, problemas de sono e depressão.

Enhancing MRI with AI to Improve Diagnosis of Brain Disorders
University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)

Researchers from UC San Francisco have developed a machine learning algorithm to enhance 3T MRIs by synthesizing 7T-like images that approximate real 7T MRIs. Their model enhanced pathological tissue with more fidelity for clinical insights and represents a new step toward evaluating clinical applications of synthetic 7T MRI models.

Anne Bang Joins $12.7M Research Project on the Genetic Basis of Autism and Schizophrenia
Sanford Burnham Prebys

Scientists have linked neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia and autism, to changes in many genes involved in early brain development. However, more research is needed to understand how these gene variants influence the biological mechanisms that underlie these disorders.

Do People with MS Have an Increased Risk of Cancer?
American Academy of Neurology (AAN)

A new study has found some cancers to be slightly more frequent in people with multiple sclerosis (MS) than in people without MS. The study is published in the October 9, 2024, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. Types of cancers found to have a small increased risk include bladder, brain and cervical cancers. The study does not prove that MS increases a person’s risk of cancer. It only shows an association.

Echoes in the Brain: Why Today’s Workout Could Fuel Next Week’s Bright Idea
Aalto University

In a pioneering longitudinal study, researchers tracked one person’s brain and behavioural activity for five months using brain scans and data from wearable devices and smartphones. They found that the everyday effects of sleep, exercise, heart rate and mood — both good and bad — could linger in our brains for over two weeks.
