The authors looked at the ability to use audio clips to analyze the progression of Parkinson's disease.
Read More...Sex differences in sleep disorders of Parkinson’s disease patients associated with a genetic risk variant
The authors use known Parkinson's disease-associated genetic variants to compare the prevalence of sleep dysfunction between males and females diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
Read More...A HOG feature extraction and CNN approach to Parkinson’s spiral drawing diagnosis
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder in the U.S., second only to Alzheimer’s disease. Current diagnostic methods are often inefficient and dependent on clinical exams. This study explored using machine and deep learning to enhance PD diagnosis by analyzing spiral drawings affected by hand tremors, a common PD symptom.

The authors compare neuroimaging datasets to identify potential new biomarkers for earlier detection of Alzheimer's disease.
Read More...Nature’s reset: The effect of native and invasive plant forage on honey bee nutrition and survival
The authors looked at survival of honey bees over the winter in regards to native and invasive plant availability. They found that native plants provided greater survivability and overall health compared to environments where there was an abundance of invasive plants.
Read More...Motivation’s impact on high-level high school students’ ability to balance academic and athletic stress
The authors looked at the relation between stress and motivation in high school students with 4+ AP classes that also played a varsity sport. No distinct correlation was observed, however, results indicated that there are other factors at play that influence both stress and motivation.
