Study reveals personalized brain connectivity in blind individuals

A study led by Georgetown University neuroscientists reveals that the part of the brain that receives and processes visual information in sighted people develops a unique connectivity pattern in people born blind. They say this pattern in the primary visual cortex is unique to each person -; akin to a fingerprint.

High-resolution brain maps reveal vascular blueprint for healthy aging

Healthy blood vessels matter for more than just heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially in addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer's disease, according to new study led by Penn State researchers. The findings point to an understudied but possible key role the brain's vascular network -; or energy infrastructure -; plays in the onset of neurodegenerative disease.
