• SCAD – Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection - is a type of heart attack that primarily affects young to middle-aged women
• This is the first international genome wide association meta-analysis for this disease and identifies 16 genes that increase risk for SCAD
• Results show the genetic risk of SCAD is opposite to that of the most common cause of heart attacks, atherosclerosis
• Results enhance understanding of how SCAD links with other common and rare artery diseases
• This could pave the way for preventative strategies and targeted treatments

We know that the brain can direct thoughts, but how this is achieved is difficult to determine. Researchers at the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre have devised a brain machine interface (BMI) that allows mice to learn to guide a cursor using only their brain activity. By monitoring this mouse-controlled mouse moving to a target location to receive a reward, the researchers were able to study how the brain represents intentional control.
