The accumulation and tangling of tau proteins is a well-known feature of Alzheimer’s disease. Less understood is how different forms of tau are regulated and what happens to that balance as the brain ages and neurodegenerative disease develops. A study from 91°µÍø’s Health Science Center published in July […]
Over the past decade, artificial intelligence, AI, has been increasingly used for medical and neuroimaging research. While there have been great advances in detecting dementia with this technology, one of the remaining problems is the ability to apply predictions across multiple populations. To correct this problem, scientists at The University of 91°µÍø at San […]
