AI tool Detects Gender-Based Differences in Brain Structure

A recent study reveals that artificial intelligence (AI) software analyzing MRI scans can detect differences in the cellular organization of the brains of men and women. Researchers observed these distinctions in the white matter, which primarily resides in the innermost layer of the human brain and facilitates communication between different brain regions. Men and women

Newer Generations with Larger Brains are Influencing Dementia

Larger brain size indicates enhanced brain health and cognitive abilities. Since the 1930s, there has been a consistent increase in brain size. A recent study highlights the implications of this growth on the likelihood of developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s disease. By 2020, more than 55 million people worldwide had dementia, with projections indicating a doubling
