This innovative approach has led to breakthroughs in understanding complex brain functions, neurodegenerative disorders, and psychiatric conditions. ...
It has been studied for its ability to support joint health, improve brain function, and reduce the risk of various diseases. However, curcumin's bioavailability – the degree to which it is absorbed and utilized by the body – is relatively low when taken in its standard form. ...
Including natural lipids in your diet can contribute to a healthier cardiovascular system. Supporting Brain FunctionThe brain is composed of nearly 60% fat, and natural lipids play a crucial role in maintaining optimal brain function. Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, are essential for brain development and ...

User A young man (28 years old) who is confined to a wheelchair after a car accident or spinal cord injury. In addition to motor problems, he has mainly speech and memory problems, which significantly isolates him socially. ...
What is neuroplasticity? The ability of the nervous system to respond to external and internal stimulations and to change its activity based on these changes. By responding to these stimuli it is meant to reorganize its structure of individual centers and their functional interconnections. Physiologically, these plastic changes can be observed during the actual development of the nervous system, ...
Introduction By leveraging Connectomics to trace functional connectivity, seven large-scale brain networks have been identified. These networks have the most dominance over cortical function in the brain, and each serves an overarching common function. While some networks are familiar, many networks, and ...
Understand The Root Cause Of Arm Paralysis Arm and hand control via billions of brain network connections is a very sophisticated process. When there is interrupted blood flow to specific regions of the brain’s cortex that control planning and execution of movement, arm and/or hand function will suffer. ...
There is no such thing as unimportant, or non-eloquent, brain. For decades, neuroscientists and clinicians have studied the brain attempting to pinpoint the regions that control specific functions. ...
In addition to the pandemic, the digitization of healthcare is rapidly shifting clinical trials from analog to hybrid or fully decentralized clinical trials, catalyzing the development and implementation of digital health technologies to support clinical research. Digital endpoints not only support the decentralization of clinical trials but also provide a means to collect more sensitive, ...
It is no secret that glucose, a form of sugar, is the main source of energy for every cell in our bodies, including our brain cells. Because the brain is packed with neurons, it uses more energy than any other organ in the body. ...
Primary care practitioners are often the first to address a patient’s or family’s concerns about memory loss or the possibility of dementia. Detecting cognitive decline as early as possible is fundamental to a patient’s ability to receive earlier access to treatments and therapies, and, consequently, more effective treatment and improved health outcomes. There are several ...
This research emphasizes the importance of identifying and controlling modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline and dementia as early as possible while monitoring brain health to detect changes in brain function as early as possible. Here is everything you need to know about smoking and cognitive decline, including a breakdown of the ...
Depression and the vagus nerve Depression affects millions of people worldwide and constitutes a leading cause of disability. Although pharmacological interventions are available, many of them produce suboptimal outcomes due to high non-responsive rates or intolerable side effects. It has been estimated that between 20 to 40 per cent of patients either failed to respond to conventional ...
When blood sugar levels remain low or drop further the symptoms become more serious and threatening, impacting brain function and eventually starving the brain if not remedied. When boosts of glucose from three treatments (such as a snack or glucose tablet) don’t improve symptoms, call 911. ...
Blue Lips Blue lips or fingernails indicate there is a lack of oxygen in the blood. Fatigue or brain fog may follow, but ultimately, blue lips show an oncoming asthma attack. ...

The Covid-19 pandemic has left a devastating mark on the US healthcare system. Struggling nurses and doctors have revealed the cracks that exist within the system and are demanding change to improve their lives and the well-being of their patients. A digital revolution has been started in the US healthcare industry, giving hope to those who have dedicated their lives to it. A medical trend ...
This has been associated with effects on the heart, lung and brain function. “Such studies are invaluable, but consistently remind us that designing out and preventing occupational exposures is easier, and likely to have a longer-term benefit for our health, than trying to monitor exposures and find cures for the illnesses that they cause,” comments ...
Moreover, according to the Mayo Clinic, MRI can also be used to diagnose a variety of brain-related and nervous system disorders, including strokes, aneurysms, multiple sclerosis, eye and inner ear problems, and spinal cord injuries. MRI is widely used in research on brain structures and functions. How MRI Works MRI scanning machines vary in ...
Scientists at Cornell University developed a technique for imaging the brain of an adult zebrafish, with the goal of better understanding human brain disorders. ...
ZAP-X®, a new,innovative frameless radiosurgical device, maybe an attractive platform for the treatment of TNand other functional brain disorders. Here, we compared the dosimetry of ZAP-X plans for asingle patient to that generated by a well-established dedicated radiosurgery device, theCyberKnife. ...
