Probiotics and Cognitive Decline: Addressing Aging’s Effects on the Brain

A recent study indicates that probiotics may improve cognitive function and potentially prevent age-related cognitive decline by modulating the gut microbiome. Particularly in individuals with mild cognitive impairment, shifts in gut microbiome composition, such as decreases in the abundance of Prevotella bacteria, correlated with improved cognitive scores. Credit: PixaobayRecent research highlights the gut's crucial role in...

Unlocking The Fasting Activity-Benefits In The Human Brain

"What we do frequently becomes easier not because the nature of the task changes, but because our ability to do it increases." Unknown Author.Fasting is a millenary activity. Exercised by several people worldwide. We may assume that all religions around the globe practice a certain kind of fast and that its benefits for the...

How Amazing Our Brain Is

The brain is a complex organ that controls thought, memory, emotion, touch, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, hunger and every process that regulates our body. Together, the brain and spinal cord that extends from it make up the central nervous system, or CNS. Credit:https: //www.hopkinsmedicine.org/The Brain has the ability that makes us read, play...

Human ‘Mini-Brains’ Implanted in Mice React to Light in Scientific First

Human and mouse neurons became connected via synapses. Credit: Giovanni Cancemi/Shutterstock.comThink of if lost, deteriorated, or diseased brain parts could be regrown in the laboratory and transplanted for a new lease on life. Scientists at the University of California San Diego have gotten us closer to that fact. Human cortical organoids (or 'mini-brains') transplanted...

Finding Structure in the Brain’s Static

Much of the electrical activity in the brain looks like noise and is not associated with reactions to any particular stimuli. The scientists found that there was structure in the noise that could reveal the state of attentiveness in the brain. In this model of brain activity in the monkey visual cortex, the overall...

DETI Brain Mapping Technique Reveals Neural Code of Vision Handling With Time

DETI mapping results from the brain of a person viewing one of the stimuli used in the experiment (far left). The central column shows a flattened topographical map of the electrodes over the back of the head, illustrating the variation of DETI maps at each electrode across that scalp region. On the right-hand side,...

Toxic Proteins Related to Parkinson’s Disease Blocked By Natural Human Molecules

Scientists at the UAB and the UniZar have detected a human peptide located in the brain that prevents the α-synuclein aggregates associated with Parkinson's disease and helps prevent their neurotoxicity. The research released in Nature Communications suggests that this may be one of the organism's natural systems to combat aggregation. The learning might help...
