Is Addiction a Brain Disease? [PDF]
Where does normal brain or psychological function end, and pathology begin? The line can be hard to discern, making disease sometimes a tricky word. In addiction, normal 'wanting' processes become distorted and excessive, according to the incentive-sensitization theory.

A model of brain morphological changes related to aging and Alzheimer's disease from cross-sectional assessments [PDF]
In this study we propose a deformation-based framework to jointly model the influence of aging and Alzheimer's disease (AD) on the brain morphological evolution.

In this work, Louros et al. uncover a rule book for interactions of amyloids with other proteins. This grammar was shown to promote cellular spreading of tau aggregates in cells, but can also be harvested to develop structure-based aggregation blockers.

Application of Time-Aware PC algorithm to compute Causal Functional Connectivity in Alzheimer's Disease from fMRI data [PDF]
Functional Connectivity between brain regions is known to be altered in Alzheimer's disease, and promises to be a biomarker for early diagnosis of the disease. While several approaches for functional connectivity obtain an un-directed network representing stochastic associations (correlations) between brain regions, association does not necessarily ...

Genetic Defects and Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a movement disorder attributed to the loss of dopaminergic (DA) neurons mainly in the substantia nigra pars compacta. Motor symptoms include resting tremor, rigidity, and bradykinesias, while non-motor symptoms include ...
