Today is #WorldBrainDay, promoting awareness and education for neurological disorders that impact global health through conditions such as stroke, migraine, Alzheimer's, meningitis, and epilepsy. Many of these conditions can be prevented, warranting in-depth analysis of preventative measures. Technologies such as Imaging Mass Cytometry™ that can image the brain at a cellular, and even subcellular, level are supporting neurological research into pathological proteins that are thought to be a common mechanism for the progression of various neurodegenerative diseases. A cellular understanding of healthy states and disease states can inform on early changes in the brain and the potential for effective therapeutic approaches.

🧠🔬 Exciting News in Neuroscience! A groundbreaking study published in Nature Medicine has analyzed nearly 50,000 brain scans, uncovering five distinct patterns of brain atrophy linked to aging and neurodegenerative diseases. This "methodological tour de force" identifies connections between these patterns and lifestyle choices, such as smoking and alcohol use, alongside genetic and blood-based markers. By leveraging advanced AI and MRI data, this research offers a new lens on predicting and potentially mitigating brain degeneration, heralding a significant step forward in our understanding of neurological health. #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #AIResearch #MedicalInnovation Read more: https://lnkd.in/erGxFNgD

New Neuroscience Article! If you have never heard of neuromyelitis optica (NMO), you’re not alone! NMO is a rare disease affecting the spinal cord and optic nerve. A disease is determined as rare when it affects less than 1 in 2000 people. NMO, Devic’s disease in layman’s term, is an autoimmune disease, which means the immune system fails and attacks healthy self-cells, and can be one-off or recurrent. When patients experience a NMO attack, symptoms like eye pain and weakness in limbs, caused by inflammation of the spinal cord (transverse myelitis) and optic nerve (optic myelitis), commonly occur.…..

Do you get hungry when your brain is hard at work?....or when your tummy is a rumbling does your mind start wondering? Well it might be because of the gut-brain axis! The link between neurons that line your gut and the brain is considered the Gut-Brain Axis and has a profound effect on health, stress, and disease. Researchers are just beginning to understand it. If you haven't had your fill of fun facts about the Brain and the Central Nervous System, then check out our Brain Week event page to watch all of our Brain Week webinars on-demand! You can learn how spatial multiomics is helping us unlock the secrets behind neurodegenerative disease and neuroinflammation and can even help us better understand the gut-brain axis. https://bit.ly/3IBgJ8F #thebrain #neuroscience #spatialmultiomics

🔬 New Insights into Parasite-Brain Interactions! 🧠 Scientists at Stockholm University have revealed how Toxoplasma gondii infiltrates the central nervous system through cerebral vasculature. Led by Gabriela C Olivera et al., their study, published in eLife journal, elucidates this intriguing process. The researchers dissect the early steps of Toxoplasma infection and its interaction with the blood-brain barrier. The study lays the groundwork for future investigations, ultimately aiding in the development of strategies to combat neurological infections.
