Researchers find significant differences in the brains of teens with bipolar disorder that attempt to take their lives over those with the disorder who have never attempted suicide. Read More
High levels of SNTF in the blood after TBI correlate with brain tissue damage, researchers discover. Read More
A new study aims to help identify how to match personalized medicine to achieve the best outcomes for recovering in TBI patients. Read More
Using neuroimaging technology to examine white matter tracts in the brain, researchers were able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease with 95% accuracy. Read More
People with schizophrenia have lower levels of S1P, a type of fatty molecule found in white matter. Evaluating post mortem tissue of those who died from a range of psychiatric disorders, researchers found the decreased levels of S1P in the brain was only attributed to those with schizophrenia. The findings could lead to new targeted treatments for the mental health disorder. Read More
According to researchers, a simple MRI brain scan could help diagnose people with a common cognitive disorder. Read More
White matter tracts show increasing maturation with age from the back to the front of the brain. The maturations begin as a child reaches 9-12 years of age. The maturity correlates with a critical and formative period of development. Read More
Preterm babies who were fed breastmilk had significantly higher levels of creatine and choline, key metabolites for brain growth and development, than those who were formula fed. Read More
Increased blood brain barrier permeability may be a key mechanism in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers find children who are more aerobically fit have more compact and fibrous white matter tracts than their less fit peers. Read More
Using MRI brain imaging, researchers discover babies which are only breastfed have improved brain development over those who are fed with a combination of formula and breast milk, or those formula fed alone. Read More
Inflammation in the brain prevents cells from accessing the iron they need in order to perform a critical role in neurodevelopment. Read More
