The latest breakthroughs, innovations, and cool happenings at the cutting edge of the world of cognitive science. Updated daily.
Just like a well-used library helps keep a town’s elderly residents sharp, education can also have a positive effect on cognitive function as people age. In a recent study, researchers examined the connection between education, cognitive performance, and resting state functional connectivity (RSFC) in healthy older adults. They analyzed data from MRI scans of 197 […]
Imagine if taking care of your heart could also help protect your mind. Well, a recent study in China shows that Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) – a metric developed by the American Heart Association to improve cardiovascular health – may have a positive impact on cognitive function in older adults. The study looked at over […]
Imagine the human brain as a vast network of interconnected roads, where information travels from one region to another. Scientists have discovered a way to measure the changes that occur in this complex network as we age. By using geometry-inspired mathematical concepts called Forman-Ricci curvature and Ollivier-Ricci curvature, researchers applied these tools to functional connectivity […]
