Sep 6th 2024, 23:41

Findings from a new USC Dornsife study suggest that when older adults fall for financial scams, it could be an early warning sign of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers used MRI scans to find that older adults with thinner brain regions linked to memory and decision-making -- areas often affected early in Alzheimer's -- were more likely to be vulnerable to financial scams. The findings offer hope that financial vulnerability could be used as a simple screening tool to help identify early signs of cognitive decline, especially in people over 70.

Sep 5th 2024, 12:10

Research discovered a unique and promising avenue for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease (AD) earlier -- by analyzing AD biomarkers in blood -- so that the impacts of dementia can be reduced. The researchers applied inorganic analytical geochemistry techniques, originally developed for cosmochemistry -- for example, to study the formation and evolution of the Earth, the Moon, other planets and asteroid samples -- and adapted these highly sensitive techniques to search for early biomarkers of AD in human blood serum.

Sep 5th 2024, 12:10

A study investigated the origin of ataxia in the brain of patients with stroke. A significant number of the stroke lesions in the patients were located outside the cerebellum.

Sep 5th 2024, 12:09

Medaka fish that lacked functional Hmgn2 genes were unable to distinguish between simple shapes, revealing a new function for the regulatory gene.

Sep 4th 2024, 18:45

In simulated life-or-death decisions, about two-thirds of people in a study allowed a robot to change their minds when it disagreed with them -- an alarming display of excessive trust in artificial intelligence, researchers said.

Sep 4th 2024, 13:08

Researchers are using works by Johann Sebastian Bach, along with MEG and MRI scans, to investigate how the brain compensates for age-related changes.

Sep 3rd 2024, 14:48

The more centrally connected someone is within their social media network, the more likely that new words they use will become adopted into mainstream language, according to a new study.

Sep 3rd 2024, 14:47

New findings provide quantitative criteria for classifying social organizations in human history, together with potential explanatory variables that can be empirically measured for anthropology, history, and archaeology, according to a new study.
