Imagine the brain as a symphony orchestra. Each neuron plays its own instrument, creating a complex network of signals. To understand how multiple sclerosis (MS) affects this symphony, scientists have turned to a nonlinear dynamics approach. By analyzing electroencephalogram (EEG) signatures, they can uncover hidden patterns and chaotic measures within the brain’s activity. In a […]
Imagine a bustling town divided into two neighborhoods: the bustling Snigra and the quieter VTA. In Parkinson’s disease (PD), Snigra is usually hit harder than VTA, as if it were the victim of an unruly mob. Scientists have long wondered why this selective harm occurs. In this study, they decided to investigate the role of […]
Think of the brain like a puzzle, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI) as a missing piece. In this new study, scientists used functional MRI (fMRI) to uncover the hidden connections within the frontoparietal network (FPN), a crucial part of the brain’s internal communication system. By analyzing various fMRI-related measures, such as low-frequency fluctuations and functional […]
