Unraveling Brain Microstructure Differences in Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment

Imagine your brain is a vast ocean, with different regions representing unique ecosystems. Researchers have used a special imaging technique called diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) to explore the microstructure of these brain regions in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and normal cognition. By comparing the mean diffusion (MD) and mean kurtosis […]

Improving Brain Power: Exercise and Executive Function in Middle-Aged and Elderly Individuals!

Imagine your brain is a muscle that needs regular workouts to stay strong and flexible. Just like hitting the gym strengthens your body, exercise intervention can enhance executive function in middle-aged and elderly people. Executive function, our ability to plan, focus, and make decisions, tends to decline with age. But fear not! Research shows that […]

Hippocampal Subfields Shine in Early Alzheimer’s Detection

Imagine the human brain as a bustling city, with different neighborhoods representing different parts of the brain. Researchers used advanced imaging techniques to explore one particular area, the hippocampus, in individuals without symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). By examining the morphometry, connectivity, and microstructure of specific subsections within the hippocampus, they discovered that certain regions, […]
