A study of 3,877 randomly selected patients found a significant link between three degenerative eye diseases – age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma – and Alzheimer’s disease.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Alzheimers | University Research | University of WashingtonUniversity of Washington researchers are developing a smartphone app that can objectively detect concussions and other traumatic brain injuries.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Injury | University Research | University of WashingtonTwo new studies from MIT and the University of Massachusetts Medical School shed more light on why mothers who experience an infection severe enough to require hospitalization during pregnancy are at higher risk of having a child with autism.
Autism | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMIT researchers have devised a new drug-delivering nanoparticle that could offer a better way to treat Glioblastoma multiforme, a type of brain tumor.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Brain Tumors | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyMany cognitive processes, such as decision-making, take place within seconds or minutes. Neuroscientists have longed to capture neuron activity during such tasks, but that dream has remained elusive — until now.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University Research | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyBy exposing mice to a unique combination of light and sound, MIT neuroscientists have shown that they can improve cognitive and memory impairments similar to those seen in Alzheimer’s patients.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Massachusetts Institute of TechnologyUniversity of Washington researchers have developed synthetic peptides that target and inhibit small, toxic aggregates now believed to cause Alzheimer's
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University of WashingtonResearchers from the Infant Brain Imaging Study (IBIS) Network, which includes the University of Washington, used MRI to demonstrate that in babies who later develop autism, the amygdala grows too rapidly in infancy.

Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Stanford University | Massachusetts Institute of Technology | The Johns Hopkins University | University of MichiganUW researchers report that in a sample of more than 400 6- to 12-month-old infants, those who were later diagnosed with autism were more likely to have had difficulty falling asleep. This sleep difficulty was associated with altered growth trajectories in the hippocampus.
