Poorly insulated nerve cells promote Alzheimer's disease in old age: Study
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Alzheimer's disease, an irreversible type of dementia, is the most common neurological illness in the world. Age is the most important risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, although why is unknown. Myelin, the insulating membrane that surrounds nerve cells in the brain, is known to deteriorat

Researchers 'see' how the brain adapts to different situations using machi
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have created a technique that uses artificial intelligence to visualise and monitor changes in the strength of synapses, the junctions that allow nerve cells in the brain to communicate with one another, in living animals. The method, which is detailed

High fat diet reduce brain's ability to regulate food intake
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain's ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to bal
