The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Just like a puzzle with interlocking pieces, new research has unveiled a surprising connection between COVID-19 and Alzheimer’s disease. Scientists have discovered that these two seemingly unrelated conditions share a genetic architecture, meaning they have underlying genetic similarities. While the focus during the pandemic has been on reducing COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, it’s now crucial […]
Imagine decision-making as a complex dance, with biases as the music that guides our every move. To understand these biases, scientists have developed various models, each offering a unique perspective. Statistical models capture the data, but verbal theories often leave room for interpretation. Mathematical cognitive models, on the other hand, provide a structured framework with […]
Controversies surrounding the validity of the toxic proteinopathy theory of Alzheimer’s disease have led the scientific community to seek alternative theories in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative disorders (ND). Recent studies have provided evidence of a microbiome in the central nervous system. Some have hypothesized that brain-inhabiting organisms induce chronic neuroinflammation, leading to the development of […]
