Brain scans from dozens of mice may reveal autism subtypes
Analyzing large numbers of autism mice, researchers have found that the mice cluster into subtypes based on brain structure and functional connectivity.
A Diabetes Drug Has ‘Significantly Reversed Memory Loss’ in Mice With Alzheimer’s
A drug developed for type 2 diabetes has "significantly reversed memory loss" in mice with Alzheimer's disease, and researchers now want to test it on humans. The treatment is exciting for scientists because it works by protecting the brain cells attacked by Alzheimer's disease in three separate…
