          Brain Rewiring Patterns May Predict Alzheimer’s Years in Advance

          Researchers have discovered that people with Alzheimer’s show unusually high neural flexibility—the constant reorganizing of brain networks—even while resting. In a large study of older adults, higher neural flexibility in the visual network predicted which healthy participants would later develop dementia.

          Eye Exams Could Spot Alzheimer’s Decades Before Symptoms Appear

          Eye exams could help detect Alzheimer’s disease years before symptoms arise. By studying mice with a common genetic mutation, researchers found abnormal changes in retinal blood vessels that paralleled brain changes linked to dementia risk.

          Brain’s Inner Compass Reveals How We Navigate Cityscapes

          A new study used virtual reality taxi driving tasks to uncover how the brain maintains a sense of direction in naturalistic environments. Neuroimaging showed that two brain regions consistently tracked forward-facing direction, even when visual features, task phases, and city layouts varied.

          The Brain Merges Sight And Sound For Faster, Smarter Decisions

          New research reveals how the brain merges visual and auditory information to make quicker, more accurate decisions. Using EEG, scientists found that auditory and visual decision processes start independently but ultimately combine in the motor system, enabling faster reaction times.

          Left-Handers See Detail Differently Than Right-Handers

          Researchers have discovered that whether you are right- or left-handed influences which side of your brain processes fine visual details. The new “action asymmetry hypothesis” proposes that brain specialization for high- and low-frequency visual information develops from the everyday way we use our hands.

          A new study reveals that our brains separate “stuff” like water and sand from “things” like balls or tools, using specialized circuits in the visual cortex. Functional MRI scans showed distinct areas within the ventral and dorsal visual pathways that preferentially respond to the fluidity or rigidity of materials. T

          Seeing faces in objects—known as face pareidolia—triggers a powerful attentional response, according to a new study. Researchers compared how people react to real averted gazes versus imagined gazes from face-like objects and found both draw attention, but through different mechanisms.

          Unlike most tissues, the retina doesn’t summon neutrophils—the body’s typical first responders—when injured. Instead, microglia, the brain’s resident immune cells, handle photoreceptor damage without calling for backup.

          Researchers demonstrated that systemic factors from young mice can rejuvenate the aging retina by alleviating cellular senescence and restoring function. Using heterochronic parabiosis and single-cell RNA sequencing, the study identified AdipoR1 and its downstream AMPK signaling as key drivers of retinal rejuvenation.
