The massive storm near the gas giant’s equator has been shrinking, but collisions with a series of anticyclones are likely only surface deep. The smaller storms cause chunks of red clouds to flake off, shrinking the larger storm in the process. But the new study found that these disruptions are “superficial.” They are visible to us, but they are only skin deep on the Red Spot, not affecting its full depth.

Better detection of the disease may lead to earlier treatment, opportunity to participate in clinical trials. Warning signs for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can begin in the brain years before the first symptoms appear. Spotting these clues may allow for lifestyle changes that could possibly delay the disease’s destruction of the brain.

“Improving the diagnostic accuracy of Alzheimer’s disease is an important clinical goal. If we are able to increase the diagnostic accuracy of the models in ways that can leverage existing data such as MRI scans, then that can be hugely beneficial,” explained corresponding author Vijaya B. Kolachalama, PhD, assistant professor of medicine at Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM).
