Sleep and memories: Study shows sound cues can help participants solve puzzles while they’re ASLEEP
Researchers from Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides […]

Researchers find a new method of using bone marrow stem cells to reverse multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal subjects
Stem cell therapy, also known as regenerative medicine, is a type of treatment that harnesses the power of stem cells to promote the repair of diseased, dysfunctional or damaged tissue. Stem cells, which serve as the body’s raw materials, are the earliest form of all cells in the human body. Prior to their maturation into specialized […]

Neuroscientists construct 3D facial models using data from a person’s brain when remembering the face of someone familiar
The code that our brains use to tell faces apart has been reverse engineered. This is because, for the first time, neuroscientists were able to construct 3D facial models using information stored in an individual’s brain when recalling faces of familiar people. The study, published in the Nature Human Behaviour journal, came about as a […]

A nose for numbers: Elephants can “count” food using their sense of smell, study says
When it comes to function, elephant trunks are the Swiss army knives of the natural world. Bristling with over 150,000 individual muscle units, an elephant’s trunk is used for a wide variety of activities: sucking up water for drinking, blowing out dust for baths, picking up objects, sending out warnings and even using them to greet […]

Novel finding suggests magnets can improve working memory
There may be a new alternative option for treating Alzheimer’s disease or dementia without resorting to toxic pharmaceutical drugs. A new approach uses magnets to stimulate the brain’s working memory. Researchers at Duke University have recently debuted an experimental therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) which applies a high-frequency magnetic pulse to the left prefrontal cortex […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

The brain adapts: Boy’s brain rewired itself to compensate when a huge piece was removed
It’s too bad that people can’t regrow limbs like the axolotl. The rare amphibian, which can only be found in the canals of Mexico City, is the focus of studies on human limb regeneration on account of its being able to regrow any body part that it loses almost perfectly. Humans still have a long way […]

Antiepileptic drugs have NO place in Alzheimer’s treatments: Study reveals they cause longer hospital stays in patients
People with Alzheimer’s disease who use antiepileptic drugs are more likely to stay in hospitals for longer, according to a study published in the Journal of American Medical Directors Association. Researchers from the University of Eastern Finland found that those who took antiepileptic drugs added eight more hospital days to their stay. In the study, the […]

Omega-3s found to benefit a person’s behavioral and cognitive processes
Omega-3 fatty acids are believed to play a role in many different fundamental brain processes. These essential fatty acids have been associated with proper brain development and functioning of the central nervous system. In a recent study published in the journal Food Science and Human Wellness, a team of researchers from the University of Regensburg […]

Is this cruciferous vegetable the key to brain regeneration?
The human brain is always in a state of self-repair. Neural stem cells (NSC) naturally repair and replace aged and damaged nerve tissue. This natural process of brain regeneration is expedited by certain beneficial phyto-nutrients, and hampered by certain toxic elements. Common pollutants in air, water, food, and medicine (such as mercury and aluminum) negatively […]
