A new study provides a map linking the genetic signature of functions across the human brain, a tool that may provide new targets for future treatments.</p> Wed, 24 Mar 2021 19:19:19 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 4935 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/ai-analyzed-blood-test-can-predict-progression-neurodegenerative-disease-317675 <p><strong>New technique could be used to choose best therapies for patients and measure their effectiveness</strong></p> <p>Evaluating the effectiveness of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is often difficult because each patient’s progression is different. A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.</p> Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:21:14 +0000 zeny.gatdula@mail.mcgill.ca 4301 at /neuro /neuro/article/research/designing-artificial-brains-can-help-us-learn-more-about-real-ones Understanding how the computations in the brain go wrong could help scientists develop treatments for neurological disorders.
