Irregular Sleep Habits Linked to Increased Brain Tissue Damage

Summary: A new study has isolated specific sleep behaviors that serve as early indicators of structural brain aging in healthy adults. The investigation utilized longitudinal brain MRI data from over…

DBS Remodels White Matter Paths to Reverse Depression

Summary: A new study uncovered the first direct evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) physically remodels white matter pathways and rewires large-scale neural networks. The study addresses a historic diagnostic…

White Matter Wonders: Re-imagining the Brain’s Silent Majority

Summary: Historically, scientific research has largely focused on the gray matter of the brain, leaving the equally important white matter understudied. However, a recent groundbreaking study has used fMRI to…
