Summary: SUMO proteins play a key role in activating dormant neural stem cells, vital for brain repair and regeneration. This finding, centered on a process called SUMOylation, reveals how neural stem cells can be “woken up” to aid in brain recovery, offering potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases.SUMO proteins regulate neural

Summary: Anti-NMDAR encephalitis, a rare autoimmune disease, can cause extreme psychiatric symptoms such as hallucinations, paranoia, and memory loss, often mimicking bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. This condition, often affecting women in their 20s to 30s, results from antibodies attacking brain receptors essential for cognition and memory.New research reveals varying antibody

Summary: Researchers have used an innovative approach to explore genetic links to mental health issues in youth, identifying associations with behaviors such as screen time and caffeine consumption. By focusing on polygenic scores that reflect genetic predispositions, the study highlights a range of potentially modifiable factors that may contribute to

Summary: A new study reveals a vulnerability in AI image recognition systems due to their exclusion of the alpha channel, which controls image transparency. Researchers developed “AlphaDog,” an attack method that manipulates transparency in images, allowing hackers to distort visuals like road signs or medical scans in ways undetectable by

Summary: Researchers have developed a machine learning model that upgrades 3T MRI images to mimic the higher-resolution 7T MRI, providing enhanced detail for detecting brain abnormalities. The synthetic 7T images reveal finer features, such as white matter lesions and subcortical microbleeds, which are often difficult to see with standard MRI

Summary: Lewy body dementia (LBD) is a challenging-to-diagnose neurodegenerative disease with symptoms similar to both Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases, including hallucinations, cognitive issues, and movement disorders. To study LBD’s progression, researchers developed mini brain models from LBD patient stem cells, replicating key disease characteristics seen in human brains.These models helped
