Vascular Dementia or Alzheimer’s: Is the Delineation Emerging?

RESEARCH NEWS 2013-02-22 Research News When it comes to vascular brain injury, the dementia field has been mired in uncertainty. What is it, exactly? How can scientists measure and treat it? How does it relate to Alzheimer's pathology or contribute to cognitive decline? Answ

Proposed Brain Activity Map Seeks to Crack Neuronal Code

COMMUNITY NEWS 2013-02-22 Community News Despite decades of research, scientists still do not understand how neuronal firing encodes thought and behavior. To decipher this, a group of scientists proposes an ambitious project to map the activity of every neuron in the brain, and co
