Bursts of Exercise Can Boost Brain Health and Fight Neurodegenerative Diseases

Just six minutes of high-intensity exercise can have remarkable benefits for the brain, potentially delaying the onset of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Recent research reveals that a quick but intense session of cycling kickstarts the production of a specialized protein crucial for brain formation, learning, and memory. This protein, in turn, may shield […]

Decoding the Dynamic Dance of Resting-State Brain Networks

Imagine your brain as a bustling city, with different neighborhoods representing distinct resting-state networks. Scientists have developed a cutting-edge method to decode the intricate temporal patterns that shape these networks. Using resting-state fMRI, researchers extracted dominant activity-patterns and mapped them onto voxel-based activation patterns. They discovered that these activation patterns evolved in a graceful dance, […]

Unraveling the Neurodynamic Mechanisms of Visual Working Memory Clustering

Imagine your brain as a bustling city, where information is stored and retrieved in a complex web of connections. Scientists have long been fascinated by the role of working memory (WM) in our cognitive processes, and recent research has uncovered an intriguing phenomenon. It turns out that when we remember colors from a random selection, […]
