DREAM Challenge Tackles Alzheimer’s Biomarkers

RESEARCH NEWS 2014-06-05 Research News This summer, aficionados of big data can turn their attention to AD biomarkers. The Alzheimer’s Disease Big Data DREAM Challenge No. 1 is the first of several planned projects to try to accelerate Alzheimer’s research by uniting computer pro

Up Close and Exciting: The NMDA Glutamate Receptor

RESEARCH NEWS 2014-06-05 Research News One of several types of ligand-gated ion channel, the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor transmits excitatory stimuli in the brain. When calcium flows through this channel, neural plasticity happens and learning and memory are facilitated.
