Brain Connectivity Patterns Link Vascular Disease to Cognitive Decline

Researchers have identified how cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) disrupts brain connectivity, contributing to cognitive decline and neurodegeneration alongside Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By studying brain networks and blood biomarkers in older adults, they discovered distinct but additive effects of CeVD and AD-related markers on cognition and brain atrophy.

Brain Connectivity Breakthrough Sheds New Light on ADHD

Researchers have made a pivotal discovery in ADHD research, finding that the disorder's symptoms are connected to unusual interactions between the brain's frontal cortex and its deeper information processing centers. By analyzing an unprecedented dataset of over 10,000 functional brain images from youths with and without ADHD, the study uncovers heightened connectivity between key brain areas responsible for learning, emotion, and behavior control.

Squid brains approach that of dogs

The first MRI-based mapping of the squid brain yields 145 new connections and pathways, 60% of which are linked to the motor and visual systems. The new brain map brings researchers one step closer to understanding how the squid can instantly camouflage itself.
