New research provides a way of delivering personalized treatments to patients with neurological disease.</p> Mon, 09 Jul 2018 17:06:10 +0000 timothy.ellis@mail.mcgill.ca 3116 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/ai-analyzed-blood-test-can-predict-progression-neurodegenerative-disease-317675 <p><strong>New technique could be used to choose best therapies for patients and measure their effectiveness</strong></p> <p>Evaluating the effectiveness of therapies for neurodegenerative diseases is often difficult because each patient’s progression is different. A new study shows artificial intelligence (AI) analysis of blood samples can predict and explain disease progression, which could one day help doctors choose more appropriate and effective treatments for patients.</p> Tue, 28 Jan 2020 14:21:14 +0000 zeny.gatdula@mail.mcgill.ca 4301 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/10-million-gift-strengthens-mcgills-commitment-brain-research-young-researchers-and-faster-results-287784 <p><strong>Endowment to bolster big-data research and help establish Global Brain Consortium at Ludmer Centre</strong></p> Wed, 20 Jun 2018 14:01:10 +0000 timothy.ellis@mail.mcgill.ca 3097 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/detecting-long-term-concussion-athletes-268926 <h2>Researchers develop method that could one day be used in brain trauma lawsuits</h2> <p> </p> <p>Lawyers representing both sides in concussion lawsuits against sports leagues may eventually have a new tool at their disposal: a diagnostic signature that uses artificial intelligence to detect brain trauma years after it has occurred. </p> Wed, 12 Jul 2017 14:18:34 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 2680 at /neuro /neuro/channels/news/pinpointing-origins-autism-269888 <h2>Abnormalities shown to first appear in brain networks involved in sensory processing</h2> <p>The origins of autism remain mysterious. What areas of the brain are involved, and when do the first signs appear? New findings published in <a href="http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0006322317313616">Biological Psychiatry</a> brings us closer to understanding the pathology of autism, and the point at which it begins to take shape in the human brain. Such knowledge will allow earlier interventions in the future and better outcomes for autistic children.</p> Tue, 29 Aug 2017 14:08:11 +0000 shawn.hayward@mcgill.ca 2708 at /neuro
