Findings reveal the relationships between socioeconomic status, brain size, and cognition are established early in life.
Analyzing the gene activity of 66,000 cells from human brain tissue, researchers generated a comprehensive map of cell types associated with brain lesions in multiple sclerosis, and their gene expression patterns and interactions.
Machine learning algorithm produced fewer decision-making errors than professionals when it came to clinical diagnosis of patients.
Study reveals a correlation between instances of eye contact and higher levels of engagement during conversations.
Researchers identified 33 metabolic compounds in blood samples that differed between those with dementia and cognitively healthy older adults. 7 of the metabolites were elevated in dementia patients, while 26 were at lower levels compared to samples of those without dementia. Elevating levels of those metabolites could have a neuroprotective effect against dementia.
Differences in cognitive control appear to be a matter of degree in healthy individuals.
Those who exercise regularly may lower their risk of developing anxiety by 60%, researchers report.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved cerebral blood flow by up to 23%, alleviating vascular dysfunction and amyloid burden in elderly patients. The treatment also improved memory by 16.5%.
Providing free or low-cost vision care and eyeglasses to children helped improve academic performance and behavior, researchers report.
