Reviewed by Megan Craig, M.Sc.Oct 31 2023 A research team led by Cleveland Clinic and Oregon Health and Science University has developed a new method for mapping how the parts of the brain "speak" to each other, critical to understanding behavior changes in patients with neurological disease.
Effects on behavior and personality in Alzheimer's disease and related disorders are caused by changes in brain function. If we can understand exactly how the changes occur, we may figure out how to slow down the process or to stop it. Recording brain activity patterns that underlie behavioral changes is the first step to bridging the gap." Decision-making, forming a memory or completing a task all involve brainwaves, signaling pathways that use cells called neurons.

Researchers Discover Potential Therapy for Triple-Negative Breast CancerResearchers at Baylor College of Medicine have identified a potential therapy for triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) by targeting the protein eIF4A with a small molecule drug called Zotatifin. The drug not only suppresses tumor cell proliferation but also remodels the tumor immune microenvironment, leading to improved outcomes. Clinical trials are now being considered to assess the potential benefits of this approach.
