#Preventive Health

Recent advancements in neuroimaging spearheaded by scientists at the University of Delaware are shedding light on the intricate relationship between brain stiffness and age-related diseases such as Alzheimer’s. Curtis Johnson, an associate professor of biomedical engineering, and Austin Brockmeier, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering, have collaborated to develop innovative methods for predicting the biological age of the brain using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) combined with artificial intelligence. This groundbreaking research could revolutionize how we understand, prevent, and treat neurodegenerative diseases affecting millions worldwide, including in Thailand.
