Researchers provide a promising new way to elucidate the brain s health
Researchers from the Center for BrainHealth
® at The University of Texas at Dallas are investigating a potential new early indicator of the decline toward Alzheimer s disease: measuring the energy metabolism of the living human brain using cutting-edge imaging techniques.
The scientists devised a unique way to illustrate energy consumption and reserves in the brain with phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy using an ultra-high-field 7 Tesla MRI scanner. Their results suggest that neurological energy metabolism might be compromised in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the stage of decline between healthy aging and more serious disease states like dementia and Alzheimer s.

Ulcerative colitis refers to chronic inflammation of the lining of the large intestine. It leads to the formation of small sores called ulcers that cause digestive symptoms and sometimes complications such as malnutrition.
Recent studies have helped scientists develop a better understanding of ulcerative colitis, including its potential causes and treatments.
Ongoing research may help them develop new strategies for preventing, diagnosing, and managing the condition.
Read on to learn about the latest research findings.
Gut microbes
The gastrointestinal tract contains
more than 100 trillion microbial cells. Many gut microbes in this gut microbiome are “friendly” bacteria that help keep the body healthy. They influence metabolism, nutrition, immune function, and more.
Visiting
museums is undoubtedly a great way to seek visual respite or a dose of fascinating history. With May being Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, it’s the perfect time to visit sites that honor the creations of members of the AAPI community. Below, take a look at our list of museums to visit during AAPI Heritage Month and beyond, which includes sites like the Honolulu Museum of Art, the Japanese American National Museum, and more.
The Freer Gallery of Art and the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery (The Smithsonian’s National Museum of Asian Art), Washington, D.C.
