Imagine your brain is a bustling city, and your gut bacteria are the architects shaping its streets. In a fascinating study, scientists have investigated the connection between gut microbiota and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a precursor to Alzheimer’s disease. By examining fecal samples and cognitive functions of older adults, they discovered alterations in the composition […]
The brain’s response to incoming sensory information can be influenced by variations in α-power. Previous studies have suggested that lower α-power before stimulus presentation can enhance perceptual performance. However, there are conflicting findings that challenge this idea. To better understand these mixed results, researchers conducted a study using a spatial temporal-order judgment task with auditory […]
