Imagine the aging brain as a bustling city with different neighborhoods, where communication is vital for smooth functioning. A new study, using the UK Biobank project’s extensive neuroimaging data, examined the impact of aging on the brain’s functional networks and their connectivity. The findings revealed a joint decline in both within-network connectivity (communication within neighborhoods) […]
Imagine a noninvasive technique that can stimulate brain activity and potentially treat Alzheimer’s disease! In a study using an animal model of Alzheimer’s disease-like pathology, researchers investigated the effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation (iTBS) on oxidative stress and reactive astrogliosis. The results were exciting! The icv STZ injection induced oxidative stress in the brain […]
Unraveling the intricacies of brain connectivity alterations in schizophrenia is challenging but crucial. Rather than relying on hypothesis-based methods, a data-driven approach can pave the way for a systematic understanding. In this study, researchers used independent component analysis to explore connectivity patterns in individuals with schizophrenia and healthy controls. The analysis revealed three specific brain […]
