But this process has its flaws. Thanks to a complex computational method, researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (<link https:>EPFL<\/link>) and the University of Geneva (<link http:>UNIGE<\/link>) were able to clean up the imperfect signals obtained from fMRI and get a precise and dynamic picture of up to 13 distinct neural networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\">The research, which received support from the <link http:>Swiss National Science Foundation<\/link>, the <link http:>Bertarelli Foundation<\/link> and the Center for Biomedical Imaging (<link http:>CIBM<\/link>), was published in <link http:>Nature Communications<\/link>. According to an EPFL <link http:>press release<\/link>, it provides new insights into how the brain organizes itself, and sets the stage for early diagnosis of neurological disorders like Alzheimer\u2019s, in which neural networks start to break down at a stage when clinical symptoms are undetectable or negligible. Early diagnosis means early treatment and increased chances of a good outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A team of researchers from EPFL and the University of Geneva has developed a new medical imaging technique that could help with the early detection of Alzheimer\u2019s disease.
