The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Imagine navigating a maze with limited mental resources. Computational complexity theory offers a key to understanding how humans tackle complex environments. Much like solving a challenging puzzle, our brains have limited capacity to process vast amounts of information. By adopting this theoretical framework, we can unravel the underlying factors that drive our cognitive demands. This […]
Imagine your brain as a complex network of tiny underground pipes, delivering essential nutrients and substances, while simultaneously flushing away waste. This is similar to the glymphatic system, a newly discovered pathway in the brain. It functions like aquaporin-4, the guardian at the endfeet of astrocytes, to deliver nutrients through the cerebrospinal fluid influx pathway […]
Imagine you have a car that’s been giving you trouble. The old mechanic’s diagnostic tools just aren’t cutting it, so you’re on the lookout for something better. Well, researchers have developed new criteria for diagnosing multiple system atrophy (MSA) that outperform the old methods used for over 10 years. It’s like trading in your clunky […]
