by Justin Jackson , Medical Xpress Credit: public domain Vanderbilt University Medical Center-led research reveals subtle changes in the visual pathways of individuals with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), even when standard eye examinations show no abnormalities. These findings include structural and functional deficits despite participants showing normal visual acuity during clinical examination. Mild...

A neural pathway involved in separating and selectively sorting through social information
by Ingrid Fadelli , Medical Xpress dmPFC and AI play distinct roles in multidimensional social comparison. Credit: Neuron (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.neuron.2022.12.030 Humans are innately able to separate information regarding others in their social circle depending on their needs and what they are looking for. For instance, they might contact a friend who is a lawyer if they...

Study unveils neural pathway promoting regeneration after traumatic injuries
by Ingrid Fadelli, Medical Xpress An illustration representing the team’s work. The wizard symbolizes microglia that orchestrate the brain regeneration process in adult zebrafish telencephalon. Granulins, represented by wizard’s cane, hold the power to clear out TDP-43 condensates and lipid droplets in microglia and lead to successful brain regeneration. Credit: Oliver Hoeller. Studies exploring the...
