Artificial Neural Network Investigates How Decision Making Is Altered in Schizophrenia
Scientists have built a computer 'brain circuit', or artificial neural network, that mirrors human decision-making processes and sheds light on how circuits might be altered in psychiatric diseases, a new study published today in eLife reports.

Computer Model Finds the Right Balance for Parkinson's Medication
As Parkinson's disease progresses, more levodopa is required to treat it. Too much, however, can lead to uncontrollable, involuntary bodily movements. To better understand the underlying reasons behind these effects, researchers created a model of the interactions between levodopa, dopamine, and the brain.

Scientists Develop Web App for Comparing Genomes
The Münster researchers' new software – "2-n-way" – can compare any genomes from and for anyone, and systematically searches for regions that are characterized by the presence or absence of certain sequences. This makes it possible to recognize relationships among species or individuals.

Epigenetic Drivers for Alzheimer’s Disease Discovered
New findings suggest that late-onset Alzheimer’s Disease is driven by epigenetic changes — how and when certain genes are turned on and off — in the brain.

Model for Anticipating Viral Transmission Could Help To Optimize Disease Control Measures
Researchers propose a mathematical model to better understand the dynamics of the interactions between microorganisms within hosts and their transmission ability. The framework was applied on transmission data of the influenza virus, and offers to be a new tool for anticipating the consequences of microbial diversity and optimizing disease control measures.
