Electrical Stimulation Makes Old Brains Act Young Again?

This article talks about how neuroscientist can electroshock the elders brain so it can work like a young persons brain but these scientist don't really know how long the healthy young brain capacity will work for so they do these experiment to try to make these elders that can't  really remember things to boost their mental capacity to a young persons brain.

my opinion: In my opinion this is great because if there is an elder person that really can't think by themselves this will help stimulate the brain cells too work better as a younger person

the article talks about CTE crhonic traumatic encephalopathy and can only be diagnose after death.

CTE is a illnes caused by a lot of traumas in the head, but some scientist discovered a new way to diagnose it while being alive with a protein called tau. the levels of this protein was elevated in athlets who experienced multiple concussions.

I think it is a really good thing that they discovered this, because with that doctors can stop a lot of people from dying and making better their life quality. Discoverires like this can make the world a better  place.

Elderly Woman Plays Nintendo DS to keep her brain sharp.

A report last week suggested that to ward off brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s, constant cerebral stimulation through activities like games and reading could be the key. And one woman, 100-year-old Kathleen Connell, would certainly appear to back up such findings, with the centenarian putting her longevity and sharp mind almost entirely down to her Nintendo DS gaming device.

Kathleen, who jokingly says she doesn’t feel a day over 80, clearly loves her Nintendo machine, describing it as “great” and “absolutely super.”

She can be found on the hand-held device most days, pausing only to put the kettle on for a cup of tea before packing up at around 10pm when, she says, her brain starts feeling “a bit addled.”

Kathleen, who lives in East Renfrewshire in Scotland, said that the machine helps her memory stay in good shape, as she used to have trouble remembering things.

One thing she’s particularly proud of is the mental age she scored with the popular Brain Trainer game—just 64—pretty impressive for someone now in triple figures. Other games she enjoys playing include Scrabble, My Word Coach, Art Academy and Family Fortunes.

Last week researchers at the University of California claimed to have found a connection between activities that stimulate the brain and levels of a kind of protein that is believed to cause Alzheimer’s, a disease marked by dementia and memory loss. Of course, it’s not just playing brain games on hand-held devices that researchers believe will prevent the onset of the disease, though Kathleen Connell finds the Nintendo alone works for her.

“I can’t speak highly enough of this Nintendo,” the sprightly senior citizen told the Daily Telegraph in a video interview. “It’s helped to keep my brain as active as possible in my old age.”

I think its very good for Kathleen to do this because it shows the good things that games such as brain academy can do to help an elderly brain like hers and keep it active.

Could CTE Be Diagnosed Before a Person Dies? This Protein May Be the Key

The article speaks about  Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) that is a illnes from the brain that is caused by repetitive traumas in the zone of the head, and that could only be diagnosed after death with an autopse, but some scientists just dicovered  a way to diagnose it with the person being alive. The way to diagnose it is with a protein called  tau.   researchers found elevated levels of the protein in the cerebrospinal fluid of more than half of the study participants, who were former professional athletes who experienced multiple concussions.

In my opinion this is really good because a horrible desease can now be diagnosed and treated, than in the past it couldnt be diagnosed and people died of this, now it can be treated and the person should be safe.

Electrical Stimulation Makes Old Brains Act Young Again

A short session of brain zapping can reverse some of the effects of aging in older adults, a new study suggests. Some researchers  recruited 42 adults ages 20 to 29 and 42 older adults ages 60 to 76 and made them compete in a memory game. The adults from 20-29 won the first round, but after the experiment the elder people did better and kind of tied with the younger people. In my opinion this is a really cool experiment that could benefit lots of people in the future, and I wish this is succsesful so older people dont have memory problems.

Your Brain Needs 1.5 MB of Storage to Master Your Native Language

The article talks about the capacity your brain needs to master yor native lenguage, it shows certain experiments of people how have mastered they native lenguage, to see how many phrases and words they now to calculate how many storage they will need if they were a machine, measuring it in MB ( Mega Bytes ), that could run up to Tera Bytes.

The results of the reaserchers show that a adult human can remember 1000 to 2000 biits of their native lenguage a day, nad in the worst case they remember 120 bits.

In my opinion is a very good experiment, because i think that no many people think how many storage their brain could hold, so i think this type of experiments are a very good alternative, for that corious people that want to know how many storage their brain can hold and how it is distributed.

Eating while being stressed could mean extra weight gain.

A study that has been made with mice, proves that eating while being stressed especially high-calorie meals  leads to more weight gain than eating while, your not stressed, the investigators found that the stressed mice that ate the healthy chow showed no difference in body weight compared with unstressed mice. However, the stressed mice that ate high-calorie food gained more weight than the nonstressed mice that ate the same, high-calorie food. Researchers found that this difference was, in part, because the stressed mice ate a lot more than their chill counterparts.   Even though this study was conducted in mice, since mice and humans use the same NPY system to regulate these processes, the situation is "very likely the same in humans,"

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Doc Bennet Omalu was the first to discover and publish the discovery of the incidence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) among American football players.
Is the term used to describe a cerebral degeneration usually caused by repeated head injuries. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy is a diagnosis that can be determined only at autopsy by examining sections of the brain.  A spectrum of neuropathological changes following repetitive brain trauma in athletes and military personnel.
My opinion is that this is very important because this can cause very bas resaults for the footbal players and also they say that it has a movie that is very interesting.

"Scientists locate brain area where value decisions are made"

An area of the brain called the retrosplenial cortex, or RSC
which is the area of ​​the brain where the most important decisions are made,
This area contains more than 500 neurons that are analyzed in animals to see the reaction that occurs when you make a decision, but not decisions like those that are easily solved rather difficult decisions to take from the most basic where is to take a caafe or with whom to go when your parents separate.

results: The research team imaged more than 500 neurons across six brain regions in mice. The resulting data trove of more than 45,000 records allowed them to compare how value-related information is processed in each brain area. This vast data set led them to the RSC, an area in the outer layer of the cerebrum known as the cortex, which connects to a range of brain networks and functions.

In my opinion this area of the brain is very interesting, and is amazing how you take your decisions with it, also i like too much the way scientist analyze it and prove their theory, and make a lot of test to make sure how it works.

China Implanted Electrodes into a Man's Brain to Treat His Meth Addiction

The man is a participant in one of the world's first clinical trials to use deep brain stimulation (DBS) to treat drug addiction.

More than six months following the surgical procedure at Shanghai's Ruijin Hospital, he remains drug-free.

I belive that this is a huge step forward towards drug treatment as it could be a good solution for people that have gotten themselves into the world of 🤬.

Broccoli sprout compound may restore brain chemistry imbalance linked to schizophrenia

The idea of this study was to characterize the chemical imbalances in the brains of people with schizophrenia that are related to the chemical glutamate. This study was created with results of other studies made on animals and people. The article talks about how they found a way to tweak the level using a compound derived from broccoli sprouts. Schizophrenia is known for producing hallucinations, delusions and disordered thinking, feeling, behavior, perception and speaking on people. 🤬 used to treat schizophrenia don't work completely for everyone, and they can cause a lot of bad side effects. The results show that in the future supplementing with broccoli sprout extract, that has high levels of the chemical sulforaphane, maybe someday will provide a way to lower the doses of antipsychotic medicines used to manage schizophrenia symptoms.

In my opinion this studies may in the future bring a better quality of life not only to people with schizophrenia but also family members and doctors who have to deal with taking care of schizophrenics every day. Finding new ways to help people is the best thing about a physician´s work in my opinion.

Title:

Brain Injuries and Abnormal Brain Waves

Objetive:
Reduce the fast brain waves in a region that plays a key role in consciousness.

Results:
This study is on benefit to the war veterans.This finding offers a new and exciting tool for directly assessing the dysfunctional neurons in people with mild TBI and may explain many of their clinical symptoms and cognitive deficits."
Brain waves are produced by masses of neurons that communicate with each other. Gamma waves are the fastest of brain waves and relate to the simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas. Gamma waves measure between 30 and 80 hertz, with approximately 40 hertz being typical in humans

Opinion:
In our opinion this study is very good because a lot of war veterans where suffering deseases on his head and with this studies know they can dicover what produces this.

High Body Fat Linked to Possible "Brain Shrinkage":

The article is about research that showed that body fat can possibly affect some aspects of the brain such as communication among many. The researchers did a magnetic resonance to two women of the same age the first had a body mass of 13% and the second a body mass of 49%. Magnetic resonances show lower volumes of gray matter in the central areas of the brain of the participant with 49% body fat compared to that with 13% body fat.

In my opinion this article I liked a lot because they gave all the necessary information to make us understand what they were saying and also because it is very interesting the fact that all our lives our parents and relatives and even friends have told us that we have to eat healthy because we could get fat and now it turns out that this does not affect only our figure and our digestive system but it can also affect our nervous system.
