How brain networks support attention

[ad_1] Summary: New research is examining the brain mechanisms responsible for deep focusing. The study uses fMRI to examine low-frequency oscillations in brain networks during focused and less focused states. The team found that certain brain networks synchronize and desynchronize, affecting a person’s ability to maintain attention. This understanding of the dynamic nature of brain […]

Pea-sized human brain stimulator invented

[ad_1] Summary: Researchers have developed a groundbreaking pea-sized brain stimulator, the Digitally Programmable Over-brain Therapeutic (DOT), that can operate wirelessly via magnetoelectric energy transfer. This implantable device promises to revolutionize the treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders by providing less invasive and more autonomous therapeutic options compared to traditional neurostimulation methods. DOT’s ability to stimulate […]

Scientists have discovered a gene variant that provides up to 70% protection against Alzheimer’s disease

[ad_1] A recently discovered variant in FN1 The gene responsible for the production of the protein fibronectin reduces the likelihood of developing Alzheimer’s disease by up to 70 percent. This discovery could lead to more effective treatments for this disease. Led by a team from Columbia University, the researchers took a closer look at a […]

How to increase the number of good bacteria in the intestines and how to get rid of bad ones

[ad_1] Clostridium butyricum, Eubacterium rectal And Roseburia There are other bugs that create butyrate. Research has shown that following a Mediterranean diet can increase the amount present in the gut, while Roseburia reacts especially well to walnuts and almonds. Besides, Clostridium butyricum According to Dr Bunmi Omorothionmwana, lecturer in microbiology at Nottingham Trent University, who […]
