Just like a city with its different neighborhoods, the brain has various scales of communication. In this article, we explore the fascinating world of whole-brain network models (WBMs), which use neuroimaging data and mathematical theories to understand how the brain communicates. WBMs have shown great promise in revealing insights into diseases like Alzheimer’s, Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, […]

Think of the brain like a bustling city, with its own intricate network of roads and highways. In a study on presbycusis, a type of age-related hearing loss, scientists used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) to explore how this condition affects the brain’s communication network. They discovered that in patients with presbycusis and cognitive […]

Imagine the brain as a complex machine with many interconnected parts. One important component of this machine is the cholinergic system, which helps with memory and cognitive function. In a recent study, scientists examined the relationship between cholinergic enzymes and markers of inflammation, neurofibrillary tangles, and neurodegeneration in people with early stages of dementia. They […]
