deCODE genetics, a global leader in human genetics, has an extensive collection of DNA, multi-omic, imaging, and phenotypic data. Since 2003, it has identified numerous genetic variants linked to diverse diseases and traits. Noteworthy contributions include unraveling inherited risks for Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, some common cancer types, cardiovascular diseases, and traits and...
The CNS is responsive to an ever-changing environment. Until recently, studies of neural plasticity focused almost exclusively on functional and structural changes of neuronal synapses. In recent years, myelin plasticity has emerged as a potential modulator of neural networks. Myelination of previously unmyelinated axons, and changes in the structure on already-myelinated axons, can have large...
Diagnosing dementia in its early stages is a significant challenge due to the phenotypic overlap of various types of dementia. Some diseases can go misdiagnosed for years before the correct diagnosis is reached. On the other hand, certain causes of dementia present with distinct structural changes in the brain; however, these changes can be extremely subtle in the early stages, making them...
