New Software Designed for Rapid and Automated Identification of Dendritic Spines
Combining a specialized algorithm, aptly named a neural network with a small amount of training, microscopes can now autonomously and efficiently identify small neuronal compartments called dendritic spines with over 90% accuracy.
The research is in PLOS ONE. (full open access)
Brain Structure Makes Some Resilient to Alzheimer's
The size, shape and number of dendritic spines in the brain may play a major role in whether someone gets Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Dendritic spines are sub-units of neurons that act as the connector to other neurons.
The research is in Annals of Neurology. (full access paywall)
Psichedelici e non- condividono vie comuni: ma il retroscena non è come si credeva che fosse
Comprendere esattamente come le sostanze psichedeliche promuovano nuove connessioni nel cervello è fondamentale per sviluppare terapie mirate e non allucinogene in grado di trattare malattie neurodegenerative e neuropsichiatriche. Per raggiungere questo obiettivo, i ricercatori stanno mappando i percorsi biochimici coinvolti sia nella neuroplasticità che nelle allucinazioni. In una nuova ricerca…
The Science Research Diaries of S. Sunkavally, p 721.
Scientists at UAB have identified an enzyme in the brain, LIMK1, that may be an intriguing target for interventions against Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia due to its interactions with dendritic spines.
If A causes B, and B causes C, then...
If A causes B, and B causes C, then…
It would be logical to take A and thoroughly investigate it since it looks like a culprit. But that is not what is happening in the scientific world. Take for example this latest news article linking obesity to Alzheimer’s.
The article is based on a study showing the links between obesity and how it affects brain’s cognitive function, specifically targeting Alzheimer’s disease. So the scientists…
