How do nerve cells of particular types know which of their cortical neighbors to "synapse" with, and which to leave out of their emerging networks? Neuroscientist Z. Josh Huang, a professor at Cold Spring ...

Physician Oskar Hansson and his research group are studying biomarkers – substances present in spinal fluid and linked to Alzheimer's disease. The group has studied close to 140 people with mild memory impairment, showing that a certain combination of markers (low levels of the substance beta-amyloid and high levels of the substance tau) indicate a high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in the future. As many as 91 per cent of the patients with mild memory impairment who had these risk markers went on to develop Alzheimer's within a ten-year period. In contrast, ...
