Subclinical cognitive measures are associated with ganglion cell inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) thinning and increased white matter hyperintensities, according to a study published in Frontiers In Aging Neuroscience. Older adults with both conditions are more likely to experience cognitive decline, according to the report.

Neuroscience research with Imagent, the functional brain imaging system."Age-related declines in cognition are associated with widespread structural and functional brain changes as well as changes in the elasticity of cerebral arteries. In this study, using an exploratory hierarchical model as a guide, and novel measures of cerebral arterial elasticity (pulse-DOT—the arterial pulse based on diffuse optical tomography), we show, for the first time, that cerebral arterial stiffness is strongly correlated with measures of functional brain network segregation, even after partialing out the effects of age. These findings suggest that preventing cerebral arterial stiffening could induce a neurophysiological cascade beneficial for preserving cognition in aging."- Tania S. Kong, Caterina Gratton, Kathy A.

🧠 Movement, whether conscious or automatic, relies on reticulospinal neurons (RSNs) in the brainstem. The mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR), a critical brainstem area, is responsible for initiating forward movement. Researchers from Claire Wyart's team at INSERM Institut national de la santé et de la recherche médicale unveil interesting insights into forward locomotion and its connection to the brainstem. The study improves our understanding of MLR's role and could help fight various movement-related disorders such as Parkinson's, paving the way for significant advancements in neuroscience.

Dr. Justin James Kennedy's next article, Why We Faint, has been published in Psychology Today."From being overwhelmed to overheating to encountering a particularly menacing needle, approximately 40 percent of the population has had the awkward experience of fainting at least once. Yet, the precise mechanism behind these brief moments of unconsciousness, scientifically termedsyncope, has, in large part, remained a mystery...A groundbreaking new study (Lovelace, J. W et al., 2023) has uncovered a neural pathway in mice that appears crucial for controlling fainting. Connecting the heart to the brainstem, this pathway includes sensory neurons that, when activated, induce rapid loss of consciousness, mimicking symptoms observed during human syncope. This discovery challenges the belief that fainting solely results from reduced blood flow to the brain."#neuroscience #fainting #vagusnerve #physiology #syncope

The first human EEG was recorded by Hans Berger 100 years ago in 1924.Initially met with skepticism, Berger's research is now regarded as one of the most momentous developments in the history of clinical neurology.His seminal paper, “On the Human Electroencephalogram,” published in 1929, opened up an entire new field of neuroscience: capturing and interpreting brainwaves to reveal different brain states and functions, from active thought to deep sleep.Berger also was the first to discover "alpha waves," which occur when a person is in a state of wakeful relaxation.Identifying brainwave patterns was just the beginning. Today, physicians use the technology to detect conditions like epilepsy, sleep disorders, and brain trauma.Modern EEG technology pinpoints brain regions where activity occurs and maps how this activity syncs and de-syncs across the cortex. Sophisticated machine learning detects tiny fluctuations, extracting meaningful data. Mathematical models analyze this activity to find patterns correlating to thoughts and commands.Far from merely observing waves on graph paper, we can now generate 3-D visualizations of the brain in real time.The future of EEG is here, transforming our understanding of the mind.#Neuroscience #EEGTechnology
