The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Just like a detective puts together the pieces of a crime, scientists are uncovering how sensory deficits contribute to the complex puzzle of Alzheimer’s disease. While AD primarily affects cognition, researchers have started to recognize the prevalence of sensory impairments and their potential role as diagnostic biomarkers. This literature review explores the sensory deficits and […]
Imagine you have a magical flashlight that can turn neurons on and off. Well, that’s essentially what optogenetics does! Using a combination of computer models and simulations, scientists have been studying how effective optogenetic stimulation is in CA1 neurons – a part of the brain associated with epilepsy. They found that by targeting specific areas […]
Imagine if you could use a decision tree to predict the likelihood of developing multiple sclerosis (MS). That’s exactly what this study did! It used a unique machine learning algorithm to combine demographic risk factors like gender with important genetic markers to create a predictive tool. The researchers analyzed data from 619 healthy individuals and […]
