Brain receptor patterns separate sensory and cognitive networks

receptor

Receptor patterns define key organisational principles in the brain, scientists have discovered. An international team of researchers, studying macaque brains, have mapped out neurotransmitter receptors, revealing a potential role in distinguishing internal thoughts and emotions from those generated by external influences. The comprehensive dataset has been made publicly available, serving as a bridge linking different […]

Cerebrovascular disease: Neural network enables assessment of sleep apnoea severity

Cerebrovascular

A new neural network developed by researchers at the University of Eastern Finland and Kuopio University Hospital enables an easy and accurate assessment of sleep apnoea severity in patients with cerebrovascular disease. The assessment is automated and based on a simple nocturnal pulse oximetry, making it possible to easily screen for sleep apnoea in stroke […]
