Subclinical cognitive measures are associated with ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thinning and increased white matter hyperintensities, according to a study published in Frontiers In Aging Neuroscience. Older adults with both conditions are more likely to experience cognitive decline, according to the report.

Neuroscience research with Imagent, the functional brain imaging system."Age-related declines in cognition are associated with widespread structural and functional brain changes as well as changes in the elasticity of cerebral arteries. In this study, using an exploratory hierarchical model as a guide, and novel measures of cerebral arterial elasticity (pulse-DOT—the arterial pulse based on diffuse optical tomography), we show, for the first time, that cerebral arterial stiffness is strongly correlated with measures of functional brain network segregation, even after partialing out the effects of age. These findings suggest that preventing cerebral arterial stiffening could induce a neurophysiological cascade beneficial for preserving cognition in aging."- Tania S. Kong, Caterina Gratton, Kathy A.

🧠 Movement, whether conscious or automatic, relies on reticulospinal neurons (RSNs) in the brainstem. The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR), a critical brainstem area, is responsible for initiating forward movement. Researchers from Claire Wyart's team at INSERM Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale unveil interesting insights into forward locomotion and its connection to the brainstem. The study improves our understanding of MLR's role and could help fight various movement-related disorders such as Parkinson's, paving the way for significant advancements in neuroscience.

Fainting vulnerability varies among individuals and isn't solely tied to gender, with other factors like age, overall health, and individual variations also contributing to the phenomenon.A groundbreaking new study (Lovelace, J. W et al., 2023) has uncovered a neural pathway in mice that appears crucial for controlling fainting.Read more in the latest article by Dr. Justin James Kennedy#npnHub #neuroscience #physiology #vagusnerve #fainting

*New Publication!!!* 😀 Think of your brain like a set of interconnected lightbulbs. The brightness of these lightbulbs in relation to each other tells us how well they're working together. If one is dim and the other is bright, they're likely working independently. This is how I try to understand "coherence" between two brain regions. In this paper, we meta-analyzed findings about how brain coherence for alpha waves in two specific brain regions, (T7) verbal-analytical and (Fz) motor-planning, relates to peak performance in self-paced sports. It was a pleasure to work on this with Dr. Edson Filho and learn so much in the process.#peakperformance #metaanalysis #sportspsychology #neuroscience
