New fNIRS Method Measures Brain Activity Through Entire Head

A team from the University of Glasgow has demonstrated a new fNIRS technique that allows brain activity to be measured across the entire head. This advancement in technology could lead to more accessible and portable brain imaging.

Repurposed Cancer Drugs Promote Stroke Recovery

A study shows how a class of drugs, HDACi (histone deacetylase inhibitors), protects neurons and limits brain damage following stroke by altering the gene expression of microglia, the immune cells of the brain.

Eating More Fruits and Veggies Could Improve Your Sleep

Eating more fruits and vegetables during the day is associated with improved sleep quality from as early as the same day. Eating the recommended 5-a-day servings of fruit or veg resulted in a 16% improvement to sleep quality, the study found.

Exercise Alters Brain Cell Activity in Alzheimer’s Disease

A study found that exercise alters brain cell activity in Alzheimer’s disease, specifically in microglia and newly discovered neurovascular-associated astrocytes. The findings offer a roadmap for future Alzheimer’s therapies.

Low Blood Sodium Levels Disrupt Brain Function, Leading to Anxiety

A study from Fujita Health University reveals that chronic hyponatremia in mice results in anxiety-like behaviors due to disruptions in neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine in the amygdala.
