Scientists at the University of Edinburgh have identified a protein crucial for maintaining the health and function of nerve fibres in brain that controls transmission of messages within the brain.
Virtual Biopsy For Earlier Diagnosis of Brain Disorder in Athletes
CHICAGO – In a study of ex-pro athletes, researchers found that a specialized imaging technique called magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) may help diagnose chronic traumatic encephalopathy

The brain works like an electrical circuit, sending impulses along nerve fibres in the same way that current is sent through wires.
These fibres can measure up to a metre, but the area covered by the segment of nerve that controls transmission of messages is no bigger than the width of a human hair.
Potential for Early Diagnosis of Degenerative Brain Disorders
A new method of testing for neurological diseases could provide doctors with a rapid and non-invasive method of diagnosing degenerative disorders, a team of American scientists have claimed.
