This is an important area of research. The tools we have to measure what's going on inside the brain (fmri, eeg etc) could certainly use an upgrade. Optogenetics is really interesting, and I know there's a lot going on at Berkeley and Stanford and other places to develop new tools, but at this point trying to read the tea leaves in the blood seems to be about all we've got to easily collecting longitudinal molecular biomarker data related to brain biology
Dr Dale Bredesen cures 90% of patients with Alzheimer, so I do not see much value in this type of research.
Note that the cure of Bredesen is a method and not a medicin in the form of a pill.
> cures 90% of patients with Alzheimer
Wait what?!
Yes, I'm sure it's a super effective secret Alzheimer treatment... I'm selling bridges incidentally.
I truly believe this is the wrong approach. It is like watching a convolutional network after it's made.
I'm not sure I understand, could you elaborate?
Please please invent the cure (CRISPR based?). The longer we live, the more likely we are to have dementia. Average life span is on the rise
The cure has already been invented. Just read the articles of Dr Dale Bredesen.
Great news. Having a blood test with definitive results will give comfort to many families planning what is best for their aged love ones.
