‘Toxic waste’ build-up in the brain may be driving dementia and ALS Read Full Article #Neurodegeneration #DementiaResearch #ALSresearch
🧠 University of Manchester scientists found high levels of urea (a common body waste product) in the brains of people with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
🔬 This build-up, previously seen in other dementias like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, suggests a shared problem in how the brain clears waste, potentially harming nerve cells.
💡 This discovery could lead to new treatments for currently incurable diseases like FTD (15.1 cases/100k annually) and ALS (2.1 cases/100k annually) by addressing the underlying waste clearance issue.

When AI disagrees, people change how they perceive the technology—not their original view
When an AI chatbot agrees with our reasoning in resolving a social dilemma, we may become more confident in our opinions. But when the chatbot disagrees, we may simply dismiss the challenge rather than reconsider our views.
