Click here to view original web page at Predicting Cognitive Decline in Early Alzheimer’s Summary: A new study predicts cognitive decline rates in people with early Alzheimer’s and explores how new drugs may slow this process. Researchers found that prediction models can estimate the rate of decline but with some uncertainty. These models could eventually … Continue reading “Predicting Cognitive Decline in Early Alzheimer’s”

Researchers found that the OFC sends signals to the auditory cortex to help switch between passive … Continue reading “Brain Region Helps Tune Our Hearing to Focus on Important Sounds”
Click here to view original web page at How the Brain Processes Emotional Situations Summary: A new study reveals how the brain responds to emotionally charged scenes, showing that the occipital temporal cortex (OTC) differentiates emotional stimuli to guide behavior. Researchers found that the OTC processes both the type and emotional intensity of stimuli, offering … Continue reading “How the Brain Processes Emotional Situations”
Click here to view original web page at Detecting Early Vision Loss in Macular Degeneration Summary: A new study reveals that early changes in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can lead to measurable local vision loss. Researchers used advanced imaging to find that iRORA lesions, early signs of retinal damage, significantly reduce visual acuity. This discovery … Continue reading “Detecting Early Vision Loss in Macular Degeneration”
Click here to view original web page at Critical Brain Development in Toddlers at 16 Months Summary: Researchers found that 16-month-old toddlers engage more brain regions to develop cognitive skills like inhibitory control. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), the study showed increased brain activity in the prefrontal and parietal cortex. Despite no observable improvement in … Continue reading “Critical Brain Development in Toddlers at 16 Months”
Click here to view original web page at Brain Study Reveals How Curiosity Arises in Kids Summary: A new study reveals how the brain triggers curiosity in response to visual ambiguity. Researchers identified brain areas that assess uncertainty, sparking curiosity. Using fMRI, they found that lower confidence in recognizing images leads to higher curiosity. This … Continue reading “Brain Study Reveals How Curiosity Arises in Kids”
