Researchers have discovered a neurotoxin linked to a range of neurodegenerative diseases in Lake Winnipeg. The neurotoxin, BMAA, is found in high concentration in Cyanobacteria during periods of bloom. Read More
Moral emotions are significantly more impaired than emotions without moral content in those with frontotemporal dementia (FTD). By contrast, those with Alzheimer's disease exhibit similar performance in both moral and extra-moral emotions as healthy subjects. The findings provide a novel biomarker for the diagnosis of FTD.
