Neuroscience Antibodies and Assays Market Survey Report 2019 Along with Statistics, Forecasts till 2025 - Daily Research Reporting

When you ask Ayla Venslovas about her fondest memory from her Master of Neuroscience at ANU, she says, without hesitation: doing the assignments.

This might sound like the kind of thing you say only after your assignments are all behind you and youre ready to graduate, but Ayla actually felt this way at the time too. In fact, she loved the neuroscience research essay subject so much, she did it twice.

When you start researching a topic, it's overwhelming because there are hundreds of papers to read, she admits. But when you get to the towards the end of your research, you're really able to critically evaluate what you've done and what other people have done, and then all of a suddenthere it is! You see what it is that youre trying to find and it all comes together.

Its so rewarding because you put so much effort into it, and then it just clicks.

Aylas research papers were on how retinal cells communicate with each other, and glutamate recycling in the brain. The opportunity to have completed this complex research is part of the reason she says shell be graduating from her masters program with confidence in her expertise in the field.

The other, she says, is that she was treated not as a student, but a colleague, by the academics at the John Curtin School of Medical Research.

It's exciting when youre in the labs and you hear two scientists talking about something and you realise you understand what theyre saying.

Being around all the research, in that kind of environment, just feels smart.

Ayla says she was drawn to neuroscience because of the complexity of the nervous system. Trying to understand it, she says, is like unravelling a big knot.

I studied medical science as an undergrad, and even then, I always kept going back to the brain. I just wanted to know more about it, because it makes you who you are. All our individual nuances are in there.

Studying the brain has changed her perspective on her own, too, Ayla says.

Like many people, I have anxiety so it's kind of nice knowing what's going on in there, on that fundamental level when Im getting that physiological response to it.

It helps me talk myself down from the anxiety, to know that as emotional as it feels, its all in the brain.

When it comes to emotions, Ayla says shes conflicted in her feelings about graduation.

Im excited, yes, but Im also a bit sad that its over. If I could do this masters forever, I would do it.

And it doesnt sound like just something you say.

Find out more about how a Master of Neuroscience at ANU can help unravel the mysteries of the brain. It usually takes two years to complete, even if you never want it to end.

China recently surprised the world with its neuroscience-backed pedagogy for children, but the programme has been a long time coming. Eight years ago, a professor shared some slides after I gave a lecture at Beijing Normal University, the countrys leading institution for teacher training and education research. One slide included a quote from the Chinese National Minister of Education: China needs a neuroscience-based pedagogy. Now, some Chinese children attend class with probes attached to their heads, informing teachers about their brain activity in real time.

Neuroscience studies of brain development, structure, function and abnormalities can help improve educational practice. Already, neuroscience-informed understanding of the importance of environmental input in the post-natal development of brain structure and function has made clearer that children from impoverished and otherwise disrupted communities have environmentally-induced compromises in neurocognitive development and still unrealised potential for neural growth and improved academic performance. In addition, neuroscience research has identified a number of specific factors that compromise neurocognitive development and this research has, in turn, led to the development of interventions to address related dysfunctions that impact educational outcomes. Third-party expert reports have summarised this research and provide guides to evidence-based neuroscience-informed interventions shown to improve academic outcomes.

Interestingly, the responses in China and the United States to such findings have been different, and problematic in different ways. Adoption of innovative, neuroscience-informed practices has been extremely limited in the United States. For example, the US Department of Educations 2019 Education Innovation and Research programme to develop innovative practices to improve academic achievement for students in disadvantaged communities and reduce the achievement gap related to poverty in the United States funded 41 projects for a total of more than $120 million dollars. Not one was neuroscience-based or informed. In China, in contrast, a Key National Neuroscience Laboratory has been established at Beijing Normal, fully equipped with the most advanced functional MRI brain imaging scanners and EEG, ERP and other systems that record brain electrical activity. Beijing Normal is widely considered among Chinas top neuroscience and cognitive neuroscience universities, a leader in studies of human brain development and quantitative analytic approaches.

A recent Wall Street Journal video report describes what seems to be a potentially problematic, large-scale implementation of neurofeedback technology that moves far ahead of available scientific support and claims to measure whether Chinese elementary school children are paying attention. While full evaluation of this device and enterprise from a five-minute news video is impossible, based on what is known about the many such recording devices around the world, there are a number of likely problems, including unattended negative consequences. Here, the allure and government support for a neuroscience-based pedagogy seem to have led to premature adoption of inadequately tested practices.

The Wall Street Journal brings in a neuroscientist who identifies problems from a neuroscience and evidence perspective, but the report begins with the claim, Teachers in this primary school in China know exactly when someone isnt paying attention. The claim is based on colour-coded signals sent to the teachers computer from headbands worn by each child that record brain electrical activity from a single location on the forehead and two behind the ears. The idea is that the teacher can intervene in real time to refocus children who are distracted and also generate other pedagogic interventions for individual children based on cumulative quantification of time spent concentrating versus being distracted over the course of weeks.

There are several potential problems with this effort. The first is accuracy of collected data. Recording brain electrical activity from the scalp requires stable and effective contact between recording electrode and skin. These issues are of less importance in research projects where data are typically averaged over many different children and where a variety of controls may be introduced. But obtaining highly consistent recordings from an individual child over multiple days is another challenge and must be demonstrated empirically under the real-world conditions in which the device is being used.

The next problem is the extreme limitation in the amount of data being collected. Clinical and research recordings of brain electrical activity are typically done at 64 to 256 scalp locations. A recording from only one location allows identification of very general features of activity from a limited area of the brain, thus limiting the ability to differentiate similar looking states that are functionally different. The challenge is similar to not being able to differentiate the words meat, meet, meal, beat, beet and so on.

The third problem is definition and calculation of the brain electrical activity said to indicate the desired attention state. This problem has two parts. Scientists have not yet identified an ideal attention state for learning or whether such a state would be the same for learning different types of material, or for different types of children who may learn in different ways. Secondly, there is no established consensus among scientists on the pattern of electrical activity that corresponds to the putative desired attention state, or the degree to which that might differ among children. For example, different brains might produce the same attention state in somewhat different ways just as two baseball pitchers throw 90-mile-per-hour curveballs with different delivery motions but the same effect of causing the batter to swing and miss.

The fourth problem is unanticipated and unmeasured effects of the feedback on other aspects of brain function that are not captured by the recording electrode. In fact, recent research has tested the effects of subjects attempting to alter their brain electrical activity to achieve a desired pattern as guided by a single electrode device. Multi-electrode recording during such tests show that the subjects efforts to alter electrical activity also affected other parts of the brain not monitored by a single electrode on the forehead. Questions emerge about whether these unmonitored changes in brain state are desirable or problematic.

Then there are a set of problems related to use of such information by teachers. In the Wall Street Journal video, a teacher points to a temporary deviation in a childs record from a horizontal reference line and says, During this period this student is a bit distracted. Should evidence of a bit distracted generate an intervention by the teacher? When does intervention inhibit self-discipline? For how long must distractions be manifested? What is the impact of intervention by the teacher on the targeted child and others in the class? Should the device automatically generate alerts for teachers to intervene when certain distraction thresholds are met? If the goal is to have students pay more attention, how does neuromonitoring compare to other methods for enhancing attention, including for example, making the material more interesting or more interactive? And then, we do not know how much attention is optimal, or what is the value of ones mind wandering a bit in thinking about what has just been read?

Reports of the amount of time students in a class were attentive versus distracted according to the device are also sent electronically to parents. In the video, some students report being punished for not paying attention. Parents might feel pressure to do so knowing that the other parents see reports that their child is not paying attention. Perhaps most important, when an intervention by a teacher or a parent is based upon information that poorly reflects the actual behavior desired of the child, the chance of the intervention increasing desired behavior is low and the chances of unintended and negative consequences are considerable.

Tantalising efficiency of monitoring might hide far greater problems and create unintended consequences. On neuroscience-based pedagogy, there is need to employ carefully researched and evidence-based practices.

Neurological Research and Practice, the official journal of the German Neurological Society, launched its submission system about 1 year ago. Wed like to take this opportunity to talk about hot topics in neurology and the journals first year, with Professor Gereon Fink, Past President of the German Neurological Society.

Victoria Hentschke 9 Dec 2019

What are the current trends and hot topics in neurology?

The increasing insights into the genetics and molecular bases of neurological disorders open new perspectives for specific and personalized treatments. This is evidenced most dramatically by the antisense therapy for spinal muscular atrophy. Promising neurological research currently targets neurodegenerative diseases such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, Duchenne muscular atrophy, or Huntingtons disease. Likewise, brain-machine interfaces and neuroprosthetics offer huge potential. Never before has it been more important and more exciting to be a neurologist!

Neurological Research and Practice is celebrating its 1st anniversary of the submission system launch. As the Past President and one of the main drivers for the societys own English-language open access journal, what has the journal achieved so far? Are you happy with the progress you are seeing now?

Within only one year, a new journal has been established with a regular publication schedule of already 3 -4 articles per month with the first articles being published in February 2019. The article accesses of research articles, e.g., Safety and clinical impact of FEES results of the FEES registry, or review articles, e.g., Navigating choice in multiple sclerosis management, demonstrate that the topics covered in the journal meet the readers interests. In addition to review and research articles, standard operating procedures, guidelines, and clinical trial protocols provide a modern style that attracts clinically oriented neuroscientists and neurologists as the target group of Neurological Research and Practice. All this proves that the conceptualization of the journal has been successful. Given the wealth of journals and the competition in the field, we are delighted with the positive reception of Neurological Research and Practice. I would like to congratulate the Editor-in-Chief, Werner Hacke, and his team for the great job they have done.

Lets take a step back why did the DGN wanted to have an open access journal? What was the idea and mission behind the journal?

Without any doubt, neurology is the key discipline in medicine of the 21st century, given the sociodemographic changes of our societies. At the same time, never before in the history of neurology, have we seen such tremendous scientific breakthroughs in basic, clinically relevant neuroscience, translational neurology, and clinical practice. Just think about the significant advances in the treatment of stroke or multiple sclerosis. Thus, bringing together neurological research and practice has proven fruitful. Few journals, however, specifically aim at bridging basic, clinically relevant neuroscience and clinical practice. Neurological Research and Practice, the official journal of the German Neurological Society, exactly aims to do that with a broad scope reflecting all clinical, translational and basic research aspects of neurology and neuroscience. NRP provides a forum for clinicians and scientists with an interest in all areas of neurology including, but not limited to, genetics, vascular diseases and critical care, disorders of the spine, movement disorders, neuroimmunology, infections, oncology, epilepsy, neuroimaging and neuroradiology, neurodevelopment and degeneration.

What are you expecting for the journals future in the next year?

Although online only since February 2019, NRP is already well-perceived, and the first citations speak to the relevance and timeliness of the articles published. The next steps include indexing in the National Library of Medicine (NLM). This will allow access to PubMed and other databases, which will significantly enhance NRPs visibility. Although NRP is the official journal of the German Neurological Society, the journal aims to bring together authors and readers from all countries worldwide. Besides, access to NLM will also be an important step for gaining an impact factor. Given NRPs success over the first few months, we are confident that these important milestones can be achieved in the near future, and hope for this to be within the next 24 months.

In October 2019, we are celebrating the 15th anniversary of Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation the leading open access journal in rehabilitation. Wed like to take the anniversary as an opportunity to discuss with JNERs Editor-in-Chief, David Reinkensmeyer, the field of neurorehabilitation, how it has evolved in the last 15 years, and what we are expecting for the future.

Victoria Hentschke 9 Dec 2019

AlienCat / fotolia.com

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation was founded in 2004 as a forum to discuss how neuroscience and biomedical engineering can reshape physical medicine and rehabilitation. What are the biggest developments in the field since then?

Neurorehabilitation has become increasingly familiar with and reliant on advanced neuroscience and engineering technologies. This is also reflected in Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, as the highest cited and accessed papers present innovative ways to enhance rehabilitation with technology.

Can you please expand on how and why you think technology is more prominent in rehabilitation research?

A key sign is that in the U.S., the National Institutes of Health has increasingly funded rehabilitation research that incorporates advanced engineering tools. An analysis done in 2018 by NIH analysts found that bioengineer or rehabilitation engineer was the most frequently listed. From personal experience circulating at poster sessions at rehabilitation conferences, I have observed that physical and occupational therapist researchers now fluently use cutting-edge technologies to aid their research, including robotics, brain monitoring and stimulation, and sophisticated data analysis techniques. Use of cutting-edge technologies for research by therapists was much less common 30 years ago!

What would you say are milestones technologies in rehabilitation that have had the most impact in the last years?

The robotics revolution began in the late 1980s/early 1990s. Virtual reality in rehabilitation increased soon after. Now, we are in the age of wearability. We are also seeing an increased incorporation of artificial intelligence, and increased experimentation with adjuvant therapies (such as brain stimulation and targeted feedback) combined with rehabilitation therapy.

You mentioned that technology use is not so common in rehabilitation practice do you see a development in the field anyway?

Uptake of new technologies into routine clinical practice is slower than uptake into research. However, most rehabilitation facilities are now experimenting with new technologies, and many are finding ways to enhance their practice. Significant barriers to translation remain. People with disabilities and clinicians must be more intimately involved in the development and testing of new technologies. We also must become more sophisticated in analyzing and addressing the factors that determine translation of rehabilitation technologies.

What do you imagine rehabilitation technology will look like in 2036?

I believe that more people, both with and without disabilities, will more frequently use rehabilitation-inspired technologies because they enhance their health and their day-to-day capabilities. Sensor-based data, computational modeling, and artificial intelligence will increasingly enhance rehabilitation science, promoting more personalized design and better outcomes.

Lets talk about access to research with the open access movement and JNER as the leading fully open access journal, have you seen an impact in the field?

Yes, NIH Public Access Policy was drafted in 2004, JNERs first year, and mandated in 2008. NIH and other funding agencies across many countries now require funded research to be made publically available. With open access publications, any interested person around the world can immediately access the latest research. This is particularly important for rehabilitation, because this means that inventors, persons with a disability (who may themselves be inventors as well as consumers), and rehabilitation therapists and caregivers worldwide can make decisions based on the latest findings.

What developments are you expecting for the future of the field?

Again, we are squarely in the wearable age of neurorehabilitation technology development. Wearable rehabilitation will continue to mature, and does represent a new paradigm in rehabilitation. Besides enhancing our movement capabilities, wearables allow us to take a sort of avatar of our rehabilitation therapist with us as we move, thus helping us do therapy on the go. I am also expecting to see more articles published on human augmentation, including augmentation of the movement of persons who dont have a disability. JNER published the first study that demonstrated a metabolic reduction in unimpaired walking using an autonomous exoskeleton. This work provides the scientific basis for the goal of using an exoskeleton to help you hike farther without using as much energy. Im excited to see how the field of movement augmentation continues to evolve and develop. And I hope that JNER can continue to be a premier place to publish papers in this emerging field!

Note: Some of these answers are adapted from David Reinkensmeyers commentary JNER at 15 years: Analysis of the state of neuroengineering and rehabilitation just published in Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, which you can read for a more in-depth discussion.
