The researchers plan to continue to study GFAP's rise at different points after HIFU treatment to determine its feasibility as a diagnostic marker for brain injury.

NfL is a marker for damage to nerve cell fibers, GFAP for injury to the brain’s supportive cells and tau for nerve-cell impairment.

Alzheimer’s blood tests may one day allow patients and their doctors to track their individual progress in reducing risk, according to a new study.

Now, researchers in Europe have found that increased levels of a protein called GFAP in the blood could signal activation of immune cells in the brain and reflect changes of Alzheimer's as many as ...

We’re looking at one tiny part … of a mouse’s brain and the beauty and complexity that you can see in these actual neurons and the hundreds of millions of connections between them.” How we think, feel ...

Researchers found that COVID-19 patients experienced widespread cognitive deficits one year post-hospitalization, associated with elevated brain injury markers and reduced brain volume. Cognitive ...

Glial fibrillary acidic protein, or GFAP, and neurofilament light chain, or NfL, which indicate brain inflammation and degenerative decay, are also helpful in tracking the progression of Alzheimer ...

Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they fire off ...
