Predicting cognitive abilities from brain imaging has long been a central goal in cognitive neuroscience. While machine learning has modestly improved predictions using brain MRI data, most studies ...

BASARA EXPLAINS MINDY. DEB, A SPECIALIZED MRI SCAN CAN IDENTIFY ELEVATED BRAIN IRON LEVELS. THESE LEVELS CAN PREDICT EARLY STAGE COGNITIVE DECLINE. KENNEDY KRIEGER ...

By using structural imaging techniques to convert brain scans into "wiring diagrams" of connections between brain regions, the researchers used the structure of these neural networks to reveal the ...

Even without infection, the COVID-19 pandemic aged our brains. A new study found that accompanying stressors like isolation and uncertainty accelerated brain aging, especially in men, older adults, ...

The brains of healthy people aged faster during the COVID-19 pandemic than did the brains of people analysed before the pandemic began, a study of almost 1,000 people suggests. The accelerated ageing ...

Depression is a mental health disorder characterized by a recurrent or persistent sadness and a loss of interest in activities that were previously deemed pleasurable, sometimes accompanied by changes ...

Researchers scanning soccer fans’ brains found that wins trigger bursts of reward activity while losses dampen control signals. The results show how loyalty and rivalry can override logic, turning ...
