In comparison to a cohort of individuals who were unaffected by either condition, the differences in brain stem volume were found to be significant, according to a paper published recently in Frontiers in Neuroscience. 

A recent analysis published in Multiple Sclerosis and Related Disorders found that these criteria often exclude children who display suspicious findings on imaging.

Redundant brain pathways can serve as pre-symptomatic indicators of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in aging individuals, allowing care teams to design first-line neuropsychological exercises for slowing the possible approach of Alzheimer’s disease.

The risk stratification system was put to the test in more than 3,000 cases and proved itself to be a beneficial tool in predicting future AVM rupture across multiple risk groups.

When put to the test, the new model was able to predict Alzheimer’s risk with 90.2% accuracy.

Findings from functional MRI brain scans following concussions in pediatric patients indicate that injury recovery times may differ between sexes. 

Given the less invasive nature of focused ultrasound procedures, researchers suggest that it could open the door for disease management options catered to a wider variety of patients.

For patients with anxiety and depression, even mild cases of long COVID could result in functional and structural alterations of the brain.
