Research in brain imaging links bilingual experience to changes in brain structure. Studies using MRI report denser grey matter in regions that help with language, concepts, and abstract thinking. Grey matter is the tissue that holds most of the brain’s…
Researchers at FAU have used AI to analyze brain activity, uncovering that spontaneous brain signals (local field potentials) help predict future events, even in a resting state. These signals influence how thoughts and emotions are processed, providing insights into cognitive…
Human dog brain synchronization happens during mutual gaze and petting, says a 2024 study, and may strengthen the bond while guiding autism research.
A series of Duke University experiments shows that quick choices lean heavily on first impressions, while choices made after a night of sleep become more balanced. In the tasks, people judged the value of boxes filled with mixed items. When…
the molecular and lifestyle interventions to slow cognitive decline and diseases like Alzheimer’s. Key points include the importance of longevity pathways (Sirtuins, AMPK, mTOR), the benefits of a Mediterranean diet, omega-3 fatty acids, and aerobic exercise. Supplements like NAD boosters…
Several clinical studies suggest that eating blueberries can support brain function. One randomized trial in middle-aged adults at higher risk for dementia found that a small daily portion of blueberries improved tasks linked to executive function, which is the set…
