The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Just like a car needs its engine to function smoothly, cognitive control is a critical component of human life. As we age, understanding how our cognitive control changes becomes increasingly important. Traditional research indicated a general decline in cognitive control as we get older, with slower processing speed and changes in the frontal cortex to […]
Imagine if we could use virtual reality to reveal the hidden mysteries of the brain! Well, scientists have done just that with neurodegenerative dementias. By creating virtual brain simulations, they were able to uncover specific parameters in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia that were previously unknown. These simulations allowed them to compare the brain networks […]
Sarcopenia is an age-related, involuntary loss of skeletal muscle mass and strength. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in elderly adults. To date, no effective cures for sarcopenia and AD are available. Physical and cognitive impairments are two major causes of disability in the elderly population, which severely decrease their quality […]
