Imagine the aging brain as a bustling city with different neighborhoods, where communication is vital for smooth functioning. A new study, using the UK Biobank project’s extensive neuroimaging data, examined the impact of aging on the brain’s functional networks and their connectivity. The findings revealed a joint decline in both within-network connectivity (communication within neighborhoods) […]

Just like the flickering light therapy we previously discussed, whole-body vibrotactile stimulation at a specific frequency of 40 Hz has shown promising results in mitigating pathology and improving motor function in mouse models of neurodegeneration. In this study, researchers explored the effects of this type of stimulation on the primary somatosensory cortex (SSp) and primary […]
