Grid Computing Copes with Alzheimer's Disease
neuGRID is a project financed by the EU's Seventh Framework Programme. The aim of the project is the establishment of a digital infrastructure and state-of-the-art software supplying the neuroscience community to overcome degenerative brain disorders including Alzheimer's disease. Now, for the first time, clinical research institutes will have access to a prototype of neuGRID which offers the opportunity to scientists to determine exactly the course of disease by the analysis of 3D (three-dimensional) magnetic resonance images.
