With this noninvasive method, researchers may be able to follow the progression of many brain disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer's disease, by measuring changes in synaptic density over time. (sciencedaily.com)
«This opens the door to follow the natural evolution of synaptic density with normal aging and follow how drugs can alter synapses or synapse formation.» (sciencedaily.com)
«This is the first time we have synaptic density measurement in live human beings,» said Carson, who is senior author on the study. (sciencedaily.com)
