Just like detectives use different clues to solve a crime, scientists are using brain imaging and genetics to unravel the mysteries of Alzheimer’s disease. A new study uses a method called hypergraph-based netNMf to associate brain imaging phenotypes (representations of brain structures) and genetic risk factors in Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients. By […]
Imagine your brain is a collection of puzzle pieces, each piece representing a different aspect of your cognition. In a recent study, researchers investigated whether the Block design subtest of the Wechsler Adults Intelligence Scale could serve as a non-verbal key to unlock the puzzle of cognitive reserve. They recruited 391 participants without cognitive impairments […]
Imagine treating dementia like a puzzle and non-pharmacological therapies (NPTs) are the different pieces you can use to solve it. Researchers have been exploring various NPTs such as photobiomodulation (PBM), enriched environment (EE), exercise therapy (ET), computerized cognitive training (CCT), and cognitive stimulation therapy (CST) to improve cognitive function in patients with dementia. To assess […]
