Grammy Nominees Are a Brainy Bunch: Music Rewires the Brain

Our brains are hard-wired for the benefits of music. Every time a musician practices, their brains rewire by strengthening synapses, building new neurons, and rebuilding the myelin sheath.

Obesity-Related Neurodegeneration Mimics Alzheimer’s Disease

A new study led by scientists at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of McGill University finds a correlation between neurodegeneration in obese people and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, suggesting that losing excess weight could slow cognitive decline in aging and lower risk for AD.

Could a Viral Illness Increase Chances of Developing Alzheimer’s or Other Neurodegenerative Disease?

Study reveals a significant association between certain viral illnesses, including viral encephalitis and pneumonia-causing flu with an increased risk of developing a neurodegenerative disorder later in life. Researchers say existing vaccines against the viruses may reduce the chances of developing neurodegeneration.

El Congreso da luz verde a la reforma de la Universidad para modernizarla

La ley orgánica sale adelante con los 179 votos de PSOE, Unidas Podemos, ERC, PNV, Más País, PDCAT, Compromís y Teruel Existe

En el texto final se afirma que “el objetivo” es que las comunidades inviertan un 1% de su Producto Interior Bruto (PIB) en 2030 en universidades, pero ya no aparece como una obligación como en el proyecto de Subirats. De no hacerlo, difícilmente se podrá aplicar la LOSU, que tiene que ir acompañada de un fuerte desembolso económico para ser viable.

Insulin binding receptors are predominantly located in the microvessels within the blood-brain barrier. In patients with Alzheimer’s, the abundance of these receptors is decreased. This decrease could lead to the loss of insulin response in the Alzheimer’s brain.
