A new study by UCSF researchers indicates that current Vitamin B12 guidelines may not adequately protect aging adults' brain health, suggesting even 'normal' B12 levels could correlate with cognitive decline.
New research suggests that the prevalence of autism may be intricately linked to evolutionary changes in the human brain. The swift evolution of specific neurons and alterations in genes associated with autism appear to have had a role in advancing human language and cognition. However, this evolutionary benefit might have come with a trade-off, potentially slowing brain development in children and increasing incidences of autism.
Arvind Satyanarayan, an Associate Professor, is redefining the landscape of data visualization by balancing automation and human agency, thereby enhancing human creativity and cognitive processes.
A comprehensive study involving 3.5 million cells from over 100 human brains has revealed that Alzheimer’s disease progression is significantly tied to the stability of epigenomic structures within the brain. Maintaining this stability could hold the key to resilience against the disease, providing new insights into potential treatment pathways.
