Fresh bioRxiv preprint maps multiple-demand (MD) cognitive control networks:
Social jetlag – that weekend sleep-in 'time travel' without leaving home – hits adolescent brains hard, weakening connectivity and thinning cortex in...
Who knew grammar could get a senior discount on neural wear-and-tear? This systematic review uncovers how older brains keep syntactic processing...
Fresh eLife study examines transsaccadic working memory in healthy ageing and neurodegenerative disease—because who hasn't wondered how eye flicks expose cognitive cracks? Eye-opening stuff for memory and attention pros.
Ultra-high-density EEG packs a punch for visual cognition:
Overclock neurons' mitochondria without meltdown: Reducing LETM1 slows calcium export, prolonging ATP overproduction for metabolic boost.
Multifactorial mayhem: Cognitive aging erodes attention, memory, decision-making, and more via brain structure shifts, metabolic dips, weakened...
Practical neuromod win for subtle depressive states—anodal tDCS to rDLPFC zapped memory control deficits in 50 subthreshold patients via...
AI-neuroscience fusion alert: NEURONA promises to crack fMRI puzzles.
New PNAS study nails why cannabis sparks the munchies – even full rats hustle for treats like starved junkies.
Emerging trend: Prolonged expertise and tasks trigger neural plasticity in attention systems.
