Summary: Researchers made a breakthrough in understanding how the brain manages to focus in noisy environments, distinguishing between enhancing relevant information and tuning out distractions. Their study explores the intricate coordination of multiple attention mechanisms, akin to the coordination of muscles for physical tasks. Utilizing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to observe brain activity during …
Summary: Researchers uncovered the protective effects of physical and social activities on brain health in older adults. Analyzing data from a 12-year longitudinal study, researchers focused on the entorhinal cortex, vital for learning and memory and vulnerable in Alzheimer’s disease. They found that increased physical and social activity slowed the thinning of the entorhinal cortex …
In a recently published study evaluating frontal theta-transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) treated with this approach demonstrated improvements in cognitive function after 1 session. The intervention was acceptable and tolerable, with information processing sleep enhanced and greater impacts not predicated on higher stimulation intensity. Led by Wan Yu Hsu, PhD, …
