The incidence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is expected to triple in the coming decades and no cure has been found. Omega-3 fatty acids have shown anti-amyloid, anti-tau and anti-inflammatory actions in the brains of animals. In a new article published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers have found that for patients with high omega-3

Omega-3, omega-6 fatty acids linked to healthy brain aging

Source: http://www.brainhealtheducation.org/omega-3-omega-6-fatty-acids-linked-to-healthy-brain-aging/

Two new studies at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have found dietary intake of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the blood can promote the integrity of brain structures and cognitive abilities in aging. Both studies examined patterns of omegas in the blood of 100 cognitively intact older adults ages 65 to 75. Researchers analyzed the

Former Alphabet exec is working on an idea to detect mental health disorders by how you type on your phone (CNBC):

“Can a smartphone detect whether a user is suicidal or depressed?

That’s the promise of an exploding number of mental health entrepreneurs, who are exploring opportunities to monitor users’ smartphone behavior to detect a variety of symptoms — all with their consent.

Best and Worst of Neuroscience and Neurology – April 2017

Source: http://brainblogger.com/2017/05/17/best-and-worst-of-neuroscience-and-neurology-april-2017/

The number of neuroscience publications steadily grows over the years. In 2006, around 27,000 paper on this subject were published, while in 2015 this number went up to almost 37,000. This is a seriously big increase that reflects the importance of brain science and the growing interest in this field of research. The selection of articles presented here covers a wide range of topics, from purely academic subjects to the findings of clinical significance and newly discovered facts that will be of interest to almost everyone.

On the 25 April 1971, David Eagleman was celebrating his birthday. David is probably one of the best known neuroscientists these days, thanks to his books and TV series. In the academic world, Dr Eagleman is better known for hit works on the relationship between timing of perception and timing of neural signals.
