Un reciente estudio indica que los probióticos pueden mejorar la función cognitiva y prevenir potencialmente el deterioro cognitivo relacionado con la edad mediante la modulación del microbioma intestinal. Especialmente en individuos con deterioro cognitivo leve, los cambios de la composición del microbioma intestinal, como la disminución de la abundancia de la bacteria Prevotella, se...
El Cerebro tiene la habilidad que nos permite leer, jugar a videojuegos, escribir y componer canciones, bañarnos en la piscina o en las profundidades del mar, aprender un idioma nuevo, correr, pasear y hacer las cosas más simples o complejas. Durante todos estos años, especialistas y menos especialistas han estado estudiando las capacidades y...
The ‘Third Thumb’ device being used to blow bubbles single-handedly. Credit: Dani ClodeUsing a robotic ‘Third Thumb’ can impact how the hand is represented in the brain, finds a new study led by University College London researchers.The group trained individuals to use an additional robotic thumb and found they could effectively carry out dextrous...
The neuromorphic chip reliably and precisely detects high-frequency oscillations in previously recorded intracranial EEG. Credit: UZH, ETHZ, USZNeuromorphic Chip: Artificial Neurons Identify Biosignals in Real TimeScientists from Zurich have created a portable, energy-efficient gadget made from synthetic nerve cells that can decoding brainwaves. The chip uses information videotaped from the brainwaves of epilepsy patients...
A set of brain signals known to assist memories form may additionally influence blood glucose levels, finds brand-new research in rats.Researchers at NYU Grossman College of Medicine discovered that a strange signaling pattern in the brain area called the hippocampus, connected by previous studies to memory development, likewise affects the metabolic process, the procedure...
The newly described oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (green) contact long-distance neuronal axons (magenta) on the wall of the brain ventricles.According to a study published June 20 in Science, scientists discovered two types of glial cells in the brains of adult mice - an astrocyte and an oligodendrocyte progenitor cell - after pushing neural stem cells to...
Scanning was completed both during Time 1 and Time 2 (approximately 1.5 years later) in each of the 5 age groups (6-year-olds, 10-year-olds, 14-year-olds, 16-year-olds, and 18+-year-olds). Credit: Zacharopoulos G, et al., 2021, PLOS Biology, CC-BY 4.0The neurotransmitters GABA and glutamate have complementary functions - GABA inhibits neurons, while glutamate makes them extra active. Published...
Research from APC Microbiome Ireland (APC) at University College Cork (UCC) published August 9, 2021, no leading international scientific journal Nature Aging, presents a new approach to reversing aspects of brain deterioration and cognitive function related to mid-ageing of the microbes in the intestine.Microbe-Based Interventions: A Promising Approach to Reverse Brain Deterioration in Mid-AgeingAs...
