But she has developed an equation that takes into account how fast tumors divide and disperse through brain tissue and can predict their path.
Oligomers, which are considered more toxic to brain tissue than amyloid-beta proteins, were applied to the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, in young mice.
Professor Holtzman said the result implied that apoE and clusterin worked together to suppress plaque formation by clearing amyloid protein from the brain tissue and surrounding fluid.
Previous efforts to document neural wiring usually required samples of brain tissue to be sliced into hundreds or thousands of thin sections and then painstakingly reconstructed.

When they carried out a post-mortem on the patient who died, they found some of the brain tissue that had been dying off through Alzheimer's had started to rejuvenate.
The scientists found a way to chemically remove the lipid fats that normally make brain tissue opaque, in effect turning any postmortem brain specimen into a picture window that reveals its internal structure.

But scattered throughout that DNA are 20, 000 genes, the recipe books that tell the body how to make proteins such as insulin, muscle, hemoglobin, brain tissue, bone, clotting factor--virtually everything in our bodies.
The mice who lacked apoE and clusterin showed signs of higher levels of amyloid protein not only in their brain tissue, also in the fluid surrounding individual brain cells and the fluid surrounding the entire brain.
Even more intriguingly, nerve cells in the colons of Parkinson's sufferers who are constipated contain structural abnormalities known as Lewy bodies, which are a hallmark of the affected brain tissue in people with Parkinson's.
The Australian research focused on the thermal effects or specific absorption rate (SAR) of radio frequency radiation - a measure of its actual effects on brain tissue, whereas the earlier study simply looked at electromagnetic radiation levels.
Using nonsteroid drugs to counter brain-tissue inflammation offers another avenue of promise.
