💡Carrick Insight: How does brain plasticity affect amputees? 🧠 Researchers looked at the functional connectivity of those who had experienced phantom limb pain, or the sensation that the amputated limb was still there. They found two major changes: 1️⃣ A decrease in the functional connectivity between homologous sensory and motor cortical regions via the Corpus …
🧠 Carrick Insight: Could vitamin D deficiency lead to decreases in brain plasticity? Researchers discovered that vitamin D levels had an effect on the perineuronal nets located in the hippocampus, suggesting a link between vitamin D deficiency and cognition. 🤔 Perineuronal nets are like a strong mesh that surrounds the neurons and stabilizes …

🧠 Carrick Insight: Chronic inflammation may lead to future thinking and memory problems in middle-aged adults. 🤔 A study looked at biomarkers for inflammation in 12,336 individuals with an average age of 57 for 20 years. 🧪Along with this testing, participants thinking and memory skills were assessed at the beginning of the study, 6-9 …
🧠 Carrick Insight: Researchers have revealed that the somatosensory cortex, an area responsible for basic sensory processing, also plays an important role in memory and reward learning. Reward learning is a type of learning where the brain associates an action with a pleasurable outcome. This could be from associating that next bonus with working …
Is there a chance that what is in our gut may change what is in our brain?! 🦠🧠 A study looked at the connection between gut bacteria and depression and named the probable culprits for these mental issues. 🙇♀️ The researchers analyzed fecal microbiome in conjunction with diagnoses of depression in 1,054 people. They …
How does your diet affect your mood? A large observational study in adults looked at the rate of depression in 3,500 women who were either consuming whole foods or processed foods for 5 years. 🍎🍕 The study showed that the consumption of whole foods was associated with a reduced risk of depression while eating processed …
The cerebellum is responsible for more than just coordination of movement- it also plays a huge role in our cognition, emotions and behavioral control. For a long time, neuroscientists believed that the cerebellum was only responsible for the coordination and control of movements, but recent years has shown that it does so much more …
