Imagine if the eye had a sneak peek into the brain, like a window revealing its secrets. Well, it turns out that Reelin protein, known for its involvement in brain development and memory, may also play a role in ocular degeneration. Scientists conducted experiments on mice lacking Reelin protein and discovered some exciting results. At […]
Imagine your brain as a bustling city, with roads connecting different neighborhoods. In vascular cognitive impairment (VCI), these roads can get blocked, causing disconnection and cognitive problems. Researchers have discovered a common culprit: glymphatic failure. Using a non-invasive method called DTI-ALPS, scientists investigated how glymphatic function changes in people with VCI. They found that the […]
Just like how a house with a cracked foundation can indicate structural issues, changes in the retina of the eye may provide clues about cognitive decline and brain changes in elderly adults. A study examined the connection between retinal thickness, microvasculature, and cognitive performance in aging individuals. By using specialized imaging techniques, researchers measured retinal […]
