A new study reports a short burst of exercise can dramatically improve long term retention of new motor skills.
Researchers report an MRI test to measure smaller volumes in specific hippocampal regions could be used to detect Alzheimer's disease.
Cortical anatomy is not represented by fixed differences between those with ASD and peers not on the autism spectrum. However, differences in symptom profiles and severity, age and cognitive ability are related to brain differences specific to ASD alone.
APOEe4, a gene associated with Alzheimer's disease risk, doesn't appear to directly affect memory performance or brain activity in older adults without cognitive impairment. However, the gene does seem to influence brain regions and systems that older at-risk adults activate to support successful memory recall.

··4 min readResearchers have developed a new machine learning algorithm that can make accurate predictions about cognitive decline leading to Alzheimer's. The algorithm, researchers say, may help doctors stream people onto a preventative path and offer treatment sooner.
The use of naproxen, an NSAID anti-inflammatory, increases the frequency of adverse health effects and does not reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
McGill University researchers have developed a deep learning algorithm capable of detecting signatures of dementia in patients two years before the onset of symptoms by reviewing a single PET brain scan.
McGill researchers reveal being bilingual may benefit children on the autism spectrum when it comes to executive function.
Artificial neural networks modeled on human brain connectivity can effectively perform complex cognitive tasks.
A new Neuron study reports practice can alter how the brain utilizes sensory information and, depending on how the training is performed, the middle temporal area can be critical for visual perception.
Clinical trials show that a new drug called ocrelizumab can reduce attacks in people with RRMS, and can reduce new symptom development in patients with primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
