Do people really have a "sixth sense"? Researchers evaluate how intuition and visions, often induced, are part of our conscious experience.
Deep learning technology can accurately reflect a person's risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease based on brain age.
The brains of older, cognitively healthy people have similar amounts of dissolvable, non-fibrilla amyloid proteins as the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease. Findings challenge the long-standing theory that having higher levels of amyloid proteins is an underlying cause of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers have identified patterns of white matter connectivity exclusive to core symptoms of autism. The study also reveals many structural brain connectivity patterns previously believed to be associated with ASD also overlap with developmental coordination disorder (DCD).
Two short cycles of a low-calorie diet that mimics fasting reduced inflammation and delayed cognitive decline in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report the diet is safe for humans and could help reduce signs of Alzheimer's.
A mutation in the newly discovered SHMOOSE small protein is associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Neuroimaging study reveals subtle size differences in the prefrontal region of the brain in young people with major depressive disorders and suicidal behaviors.
Sedentary behaviors while sitting for extended periods of time, such as watching TV, are associated with an increased risk of dementia in older adults. However, older adults who spent time performing cognitively stimulating tasks, such as using a computer or reading, while sitting had lower dementia risks.
Researchers used classic fables and short stories with moral implications to test and assess human-like reasoning in artificial intelligence.
Willingness to Give Away Money Among Older Adults Linked to Cognitive Profile of Early Alzheimer’s
Willingness in older people to give more money away appears to correlate with cognitive decline associated with dementia. The findings may explain why many older adults could be more prone to financial exploitation.
Neuroimaging study reveals those with anorexia have noticeable reductions in cortical thickness, subcortical volume, and cortical surface area. The reductions are between 2 to 4 times larger than abnormalities in brain size and shape in those with other mental illnesses.
Stress accelerates immune aging, cumulating in increasing the risks of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and contracting severe viral infections such as COVID-19.
