Machine learning for neurodegenerative disorders : advancements and applications
Explores the application of machine learning to the understanding, early diagnosis, and management of neurodegenerative disorders. With a specific focus on its role in ongoing clinical trials, the book covers essential topics such as data collection, pre-processing, feature extraction, model development, and validation techniques. It delves into the applications of neuroimaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis and understanding of neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, the book examines various machine-learning algorithms employed for biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative disorders. It highlights the role of neuroinformatics and big data analysis in advancing the understanding and management of neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, the book reviews future prospects and presents the ethical considerations and regulatory challenges associated with implementing machine learning approaches in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurodegenerative disorders.
Chemical Biology of Neurodegeneration : A Molecular Approach
This book focuses on the main actors involved in neurodegenerative disorders at a molecular level, and places special emphasis on structural aspects and modes of action. Drawing on recent data on enzyme structure, mode of action, and inhibitor design, it describes?from a biochemical point of view?the six most important neurotransmitter systems and their constituent enzymes and receptors. Misfolding and aggregation of proteins within the brain is also covered.
Biomarkers for alzheimer’s disease drug development
Helping to accelerate Alzheimer’s disease drug development. Addressing the latest advances in preclinical and clinical research, including new insights into the molecular mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies, the book continues by exploring digital biomarkers and advanced neuroimaging analysis which will transform how clinical trials in the Alzheimer’s disease field are performed.
