Mapping the Brain: Grey Matter Atrophy and Connectivity in Alzheimer’s Disease

Imagine exploring a vast and intricate city, where the buildings represent different regions of the brain and the roads symbolize the connections between them. In this study, scientists took a closer look at how Alzheimer’s disease affects this complex network. They examined the progressive changes in grey matter volume and structural covariance connectivity in patients […]

Unlocking the Potential: Evaluating rTMS Treatment for Moderate-to-Severe Alzheimer’s

Imagine a revolutionary treatment that could improve the lives of those suffering from moderate-to-severe Alzheimer’s disease. That’s where repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) comes in. In a recent study, researchers conducted a randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial involving 35 AD patients. They applied high-frequency stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex over a period of three […]

How Visual Processing Regions May Impact Cognitive Recovery

Imagine your brain as a bustling city, with different neighborhoods responsible for different functions. One important neighborhood, called the default mode network (DMN), plays a crucial role in cognitive processes. In a recent study, scientists investigated how the DMN is connected to regions involved in visual processing and its potential as a biomarker for delayed […]
