To accomplish this, the scientists used MRI data from 86 patients with mild Parkinson’s disease and 60 healthy control participants to generate the connectome, a structural/functional map of the brain’s neural connections. The researchers used the connectome to develop an index of disease exposure...

The two researchers set about building this nose in 2019. That was when they heard reports of Joy Milne, a nurse, who could detect people with Parkinson’s from a distinctive smell they gave off. Researchers working with her found that the sebum(皮脂) of those with Parkinson’s has unusual...
Lecanemab (Leqembi) is used for Alzheimer’s disease to help slow the progression of dementia in patients who have mild cognitive impairment (MCI) or mild dementia symptoms. Lecanemab infusion works by reducing amyloid beta (Aβ) plaques and protofibrils in the brain, which helps slow down...
“My main areas of work now are DBS for depression and Alzheimer’s,” he said. “[It’s the] same technology but the electrodes are placed in totally different brain targets. In [Parkinson’s Disease] we stimulate motor circuits in the brain, in [Alzheimer’s] a memory circuit, [and...
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used deep brain stimulation based on light to treat motor dysfunction in an animal model of Parkinson's disease. Succeeding where earlier attempts have failed, the method promises to provide new insights into why deep brain stimulation works and ways in ...
Can older Parkinson patients undergo deep brain stimulation?Researchers have found no difference in complications from deep brain stimulation in older versus younger patients with Parkinson's disease. This could help inform physicians and surgeons about the risks associated with DBS.Tech Times...
diseases and cancer. Now, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have helped develop a nanobody capable of getting through the tough exterior of brain cells and untangling misshapen proteins that lead to Parkinson's disease, Lewy body dementia, and other neurocognitive disorders caused by the damaging ...
To test their basic hypothesis—that increasing the amount of slow-wave sleep may have a beneficial impact on the Parkinson's brain—Morawska and her team turned to two mouse models. The team examined sleep deprivation and its impact on the accumulation of the neurotoxic aggregates. The research...
People with multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, arthritis, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy to name a few, will benefit significantly from The TubcuT®. For accident victims, anyone in chronic pain, people with knee or hip replacements or any neuro-muscular disease...
