Researchers at Northwestern University have made a breakthrough in identifying a way for Alzheimer's disease to be treated far more effectively in the future – using the brain's own immune cells.Continue ReadingCategory: Alzheimer's & Dementia, Brain Health, Body & MindTags: Alzheimer's disease, Northwestern University
Use it or lose it: AI will rot our brains
Posted by ArielTechGeek 71 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Technology can physically change our brains as it becomes an integral part of daily life – but every time we outsource a function, we risk letting our ability atrophy away. What happens when that ability is critical thinking itself?Continue ReadingCategory: AI & Humanoids, TechnologyTags: Microsoft, LLM (Large Language Model), Artificial Intelligence, Brain
Brains sync up when people watch health messages together
Posted by ArielTechGeek 73 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Using portable EEGs, researchers found that when groups of people watch the same health promotion videos, their brain activity syncs up, indicating that the message has gone beyond being seen and heard. This approach could lead to ‘neural’ focus groups and more effective health campaigns.Continue ReadingCategory: Learning & Memory, Brain Health, Body & MindTags: EEG, Brain activity, Publi
Popular sleeping pill shown to block brain's critical cleaning cycle
Posted by ArielTechGeek 105 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Each night, our brains execute a "wash and rinse" routine that clears away harmful protein waste linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's. Now, new research shows that a common prescription sleep aid can disrupt this essential process.Continue ReadingCategory: Sleep, Wellness & Healthy Living, Body & MindTags: Insomnia, Sleeping, Ambien, University of Rochester, Medication, A

Pregnancy drug restores youthful function to clean up aging brains
Posted by ArielTechGeek 258 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
A drug used to induce labor in pregnant women has been shown to reactivate tiny waste-clearing pumps in the brains of old mice. The finding could hold promise as a new way to fight Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases and overall cognitive decline.Continue ReadingCategory: Health & Wellbeing, LifestyleTags: Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Brain, University of Rochester, Sp
Language affects how fast our brains perceive different shades of color
Posted by ArielTechGeek 278 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Speaking a language with different words for different color shades allows the brain to perceive those shades quicker than using a language with only one word for that color, according to new research. The findings highlight the important interaction between language and perception.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: Language, Brain, Color, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Unive
Time flies: Our brains perceive time more like counters than clocks
Posted by ArielTechGeek 282 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Time is relative, and not only in an astrophysical sense – we’re all familiar with that feeling that time drags when we’re bored and flies when we’re busy. New analysis of brain activity patterns shows how our brains track time, and some intriguing insights into how cells handle it.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: Neuroscience, Brain, Memory, Time, University of Nevada Las Vegas
Our brains take naps while we're awake – and wake when we're asleep
Posted by ArielTechGeek 287 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
For the first time, scientists have discovered that a small region of our brain shuts down to take microsecond-long naps while we're awake. What's more, these same areas 'flicker' awake while we're asleep. These new findings could offer pivotal insights into neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative diseases, which are linked to sleep dysregulation.Continue ReadingCategory: Biology, ScienceTags: U
