Microscopic brain maps allow to search for drugs for the Alzheimer

Boadilla del Monte (Spain), 23 feb (EFE).-scientific Spanish will create microscopic computerized maps of the brain of people with Alzheimer, with genetic or molecular information, allowing you to recreate simulations in 3D of the disease to see its evolution, trying to delve into its origins and test possible drugs. Project, led by the Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas (CSIC) and the Universidad PolitÃ©cnica de Madrid (UPM), will provide the first comprehensive analysis on the Alzheimer, a “book of the brain”, as said Javier de Felipe, director of the initiative today. Will be to find new ways of addressing this dementia, which Spain affects approximately 650,000 people, researchers developed computer these maps with detailed information on the clinical, genetic, molecular, functional and pathological aspects. “The first step is the development of computational tools to create a data bank with information clinical, epidemiological, functional neuroimaging and morphological, through integrated information systems,” explained De Felipe.

Qnexa from Vivus Inc, competes with lorcaserin’s Arena Pharmaceuticals Inc. and Contrave from Orexigen Therapeutics Inc. “However, we remain cautious and believe that the FDA could even require a test of cardiovascular safety prior to the approval of Qnexa and all potential drugs for obesity,” said analyst Thomas Wei Jefferies in a note to its clients.

The Queen visits the project that will make a complete brain map with Alzheimers disease

Boadilla del Monte (Madrid), 23 feb (EFE).-the Queen has today visited the facilities of the Campus of international excellence of Montegancedo of the Polytechnic University of Madrid, where it is has become interested in the fundamentals of a project pioneer to achieve maps microscopic brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease. The goal of this project is to deepen the knowledge of this disease, possible treatments and its origin, still unknown. The “Alzheimer’s project 3 pi” was born thanks to a collaboration agreement signed last October between the Universidad PolitÃ©cnica de Madrid (UPM), the Higher Council of scientific research (CSIC), the National Alzheimer’s Association and Foundation Queen SofÃa. Is called “3 Alzheimer pi” (letter of the Greek alphabet) because it is supported on three pillars of research to combat Alzheimer’s disease: circuits, computing, and cognition. During his visit, Sofia has known several rooms of the building, including the Cajal laboratory of cortical circuits, where is located an electron microscope capable of seeing and cut a brain tissue to then become a sample in three dimensions. It’s one of the steps to get the maps microscopic brain affected by Alzheimer’s disease. In this laboratory, the Queen has become interested in this technology, partly Spanish, by signs which at that time was analysing the microscope and the neural Synapse. On the Synapse (if these connections disappear there brain cognitive impairment), Sofia has pointed...
