BiOxyDyn Anatomical Connectivity Mapping (ACM) approach shows sensitivity to Alzheimer's disease

BiOxyDynOctober 2010 - BiOxyDyn Anatomical Connectivity Mapping (ACM) approach shows sensitivity to Alzheimer's disease - Anatomical connectivity mapping, or ACM, is a technique that uses magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect subtle alterations in the 'wiring pattern' of the brain that can occur in a range of diseases. Recent work performed by Dr Marco Bozzali and colleagues at the Santa Lucia Foundation, Rome, in conjunction with researcher from the University of Manchester, shows that ACM is more sensitive to some of subtle the effects of Alzheimer's on the brain than more established MRI measurements. Importantly, Dr Bozzali's team also show that ACM measurements are related to the severity of patient's memory impairment with Alzheimer's disease. BiOxyDyn's Press Releases -
