Can Deep Brain Stimulation Help More Patients?
Deep brain stimulation procedures use electrical pulses to disrupt tiny portions of the brain and halt epileptic seizures or disease-related tremor. The therapy is invaluable, but the basic technology has not advanced in decades.
Memory Biomarkers Confirm Aerobic Exercise Helps Cognitive Function in Older Adults
Until now, systemic biomarkers to measure exercise effects on brain function and that link to relevant metabolic responses were lacking. A study shows a memory biomarker, myokine Cathepsin B (CTSB), increased in older adults following a 26-week structured aerobic exercise training. The positive association between CTSB and cognition, and the substantial modulation of lipid metabolites implicated in dementia, support the beneficial effects of exercise training on brain function and brain health in asymptomatic individuals at risk for Alzheimer’s.
Neuroscientists discover how our brains track where we and others go
As COVID cases rise, physically distancing yourself from other people has never been more important. Now a Nature study reveals how your brain navigates places and monitors someone else in the same location.
