@Marco, @Subtropical Island, "multitasking" tasks are pretty sensitive to all kinds of general cognitive problems, so yes, you'd expect them to be...
I think a better model of how poor autonomic control might impact on cognition is to be found in patients with damage to the anterior cingulate....
Yes! We prepare for every cognitive event by delivering oxygenated blood to the tissue involved. We know this because its what fMRI measures -...
To be fair, no-one really knows what role the neurofibrillary tangles play in AD. They may be causal, or they may be part of the brain's response...
Yes, but why stop there? Neurons are composed of molecules and molecules of atoms. and so on. The answer is really quite simple. The correct level...

Not a new article, but I was struck by this comment on the relation between fatigue and pro-inflammatory cytokines: Fatigue is a common feature in...
What you say makes a lot of sense @Mithriel. I do feel the same about the "lumpers", that doesn't seem to me to be a good way of moving forward in...
This discussion is interesting because it touches on how we use diagnostic labels. What we have here are two diagnostic labels: autism/ASD and...
This.
Not likely, Prof Bishop may claim to support stringent, open science, but like many has a blindspot for this kind of woolly health psychobabble....
There is some good evidence for this. This study below, from our Science library at this link, was a metanalysis of clinical trials that contained...
