One brain area controlling another is the desired outcome of therapy.

Neuroscience can explain the disconnect between how much time we think has passed and how much actually has. Our brains create unique network states through drift, helping working and autobiographical memory. Reading about the barrage of news events lately has tricked our brains into thinking more time has passed.

Researchers at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas have discovered evidence that Type 2 diabetes “rewires” the brain in ways similar to early-onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Cognitive compensation can hide underlying pathology in the brain.

Diabetes is known to cause many medical issues, from heart disease to vision problems — and now a new study suggests it could also impact memory and other cognitive functions.

More than 36 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, meaning their blood sugar levels are always top of mind. After all, when people with diabetes have blood sugar levels that are too low or too high, it can cause uncomfortable symptoms like brain fog and moodiness. And if you develop hypo- or hyperglycemia (when your blood sugar is way too high or too low), you can also suffer from pretty serious health issues including a diabetic coma.

A new study by the UNLV Research team has found a connection between diabetes and memory loss. It also shows high blood sugar levels appeared to mimic Alzheimer's disease.

People with Type 2 diabetes are at a much higher risk for Alzheimer's disease than people without diabetes, and a new study might have unearthed the connection. Researchers from University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) took a closer look at how type 2 diabetes alters brain activity in areas tied to memory and motivation.
