A test that uses images of cats and dogs may prove to be a quick and effective method of predicting which patients in early stages of Parkinson's disease will develop dementia. Read More
Switching between operational modes occurs dynamically according to the demands of the task at hand, a new study reports. Read More
UCL researchers use a new math equation to identify brain signals that explain why our self esteem rises, or lowers, when we find out what others think of us. Read More
Advances in machine learning could allow researchers to detect drug effects that may be missed through conventional statistical analysis, researchers report. Read More
A new study reveals newborns who are stressed by their environment have a greater neural pain response following a routine skin lance than babies who are not stressed. However, the neural response is not matched by their physical reaction to pain. Read More
UCL researchers report people with a higher body mass index are more likely to develop dementia than those of a lower weight. Read More
UCL researchers report clinical trials of IONIS-HTTRx have shown success in reducing the huntinting protein in the nervous system of those with Huntington's disease. The drug is safe and well tolerated by human patients, the researchers note. Read More
