Researchers from Cologne have studied nerve cells in the control center of the vagus nerve, which detect what we eat in the gastrointestinal tract and control the feeling of satiety and blood sugar level. They identified that different groups innervate different gut organs and also fulfil different functions. This discovery could be an important factor for developing future therapeutic strategies against obesity and diabetes.

Researchers have used new artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning techniques to detect rare forms of dementia on MRI images. In their study, they show that AI can automatically recognize patterns in patient imaging data that are specific to rare forms of dementia, enabling early diagnosis. They included Alzheimer’s disease with memory impairment as well as many other diseases.
