Alzheimer’s disease affects more women than men, a puzzle that scientists are eager to solve. By including women in research and studying their biology, we can uncover why women have a higher risk of Alzheimer’s but also discover their remarkable ability to withstand the disease. Just like a superhero with hidden powers, women possess resilience […]
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 […]
