Many of Us Are Dominantly Right-Handed but Left-Eyed. Here’s the Reason

Biology, Neuroscience, Psychology /

The study explores the complex interplay of handedness and visual biases in humans, drawing parallels with similar traits observed across the animal kingdom. While handedness is well-known as a defining characteristic, the study reveals lesser-known biases that impact social dynamics and cognitive functions. Human Biases and Brain Lateralization Humans exhibit a strong tendency towards right-handedness,

Scientists Discover Brain Vascular Changes Associated with Alzheimer’s Disease

Neuroscience, Science /

The blood-brain barrier (BBB)—a network of blood vessels and tissues that protects the brain from harmful substances in the blood—is disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic and collaborators have now identified unique molecular signatures of BBB dysfunction, potentially leading to new diagnostic and treatment methods. Discovery and Analysis of Molecular Signatures “These
