New research led by researchers at the Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience has discovered that the immune cells in the brain, known as microglia, act differently in the male and female Alzheimer’s brain, and appear to cause residual harm in the female brain.
A research paper by scientists from Beihang University proposed a machine learning (ML)-driven cerebral blood flow (CBF) prediction model, featuring multimodal imaging data integration and an interactive web application to address the challenge of quantitative CBF assessment during long-duration spaceflight.
The new research paper, published on Nov. 24 in the journal Cyborg and Bionic Systems, presented the development, validation, and deployment of the prediction model, demonstrating that carotid ultrasound-derived features can effectively predict regional CBF changes under simulated microgravity, providing an early warning tool for astronaut brain health.
