Walking patterns can identify dementia type

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 23, 2019

People with two common types of dementia, Lewy body dementia, and Alzheimer's disease, have unique walking patterns. The gait type signals subtle differences between the two disorders. Those with Lew body dementia change their steps more, varying the step time and length. They also display more asymmetry in movement compared to those with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers say gait could be a clinical biomarker for dementia subtypes.... Read More...

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 18, 2019

Study reveals a link between obesity and chronic diarrhea, independent of lifestyle, diet, and other medical conditions. Those who are obese are 60% more likely to experience bouts of chronic diarrhea. A possible explanation could be the link between obesity and low-grade inflammation, which may trigger diarrhea more frequently.... Read More...

Brain tumors form synapses with healthy neurons

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 18, 2019

Stanford researchers made a groundbreaking discovery about brain tumors. The study reports high-grade gliomas form synapses which hijack electrical signals from healthy neurons in the brain, promoting tumor growth. Interrupting the signals with a drug currently used to treat epilepsy reduces the tumor growth in mouse models.... Read More...

How gut bacteria negatively influences serotonin and blood sugar levels

Neuroscience NewsSeptember 17, 2019

A new study shows how the microbiome communicates with cells producing serotonin to influence blood sugar levels. The microbiome can worsen metabolism by signaling to cells in the gut that produce serotonin. This drives up serotonin levels. The rise in blood serotonin levels causes metabolic problems....
