Tau proteins play an important role in Alzheimer's disease. Tau helps to stabilize neurons in the brain, but in Alzheimer's disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons. These tangles ...

A heart PET scan is a noninvasive imaging test that uses a small amount of radiation. It helps doctors understand how the heart functions and whether it is healthy. Cardiac or heart PET scans create ...

Brain scans used to track changes in a dozen patients who received an experimental gene therapy show that the treatment normalizes brain function - and the effects are still present a year later.

Scanning a patient's brain metabolism with positron-emission tomography (PET) can improve a doctor's ability to forecast the patient's future cognitive functions by up to 30 percent, a new ...

Researchers use AI and postmortem tissue to reveal that tau PET scans are often influenced by iron and neuroinflammation rather than tau tangles alone.

When you need expert care for your heart, seconds count. When it comes to technology and providers, you want the best and brightest taking care of your ticker. We get it, and that’s one of the reasons ...

At first glance, it might appear that better access to so-called amyloid-PET scans could compensate for some of the racial inequities in Alzheimer’s disease, as Linda Goler Blount called for in a ...

Combined positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a new tool to study functional processes in the brain. Here we study brain function in response to a barrel-field ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

MANHASSET, NY - Brain scans used to track changes in a dozen patients who received an experimental gene therapy show that the treatment normalizes brain function - and the effects are still present a ...
