A com­bined cog­ni­tive and fit­ness train­ing helps restore old­er adults’ atten­tion abil­i­ties to young adult lev­els (Psy­Post):

A new study found promis­ing results for a com­bined phys­i­cal fit­ness and cog­ni­tive inter­ven­tion designed to enhance neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty in old­er adults. Using a motion-cap­ture video game, the inter­ven­tion appeared to reme­di­ate age-relat­ed declines in atten­tion. The find­ings were pub­lished in the jour­nal npj Aging.

New Study Brings Bio­mark­ers For Depres­sion Clos­er To The Clin­ic (Forbes):

Sci­en­tists have been study­ing bio­log­i­cal signs of depres­sion in the brain, look­ing for mark­ers that could be used to iden­ti­fy the dis­or­der. A team of sci­en­tists recent­ly devel­oped a tech­nique using machine learn­ing that can iden­ti­fy whether a giv­en patien­t’s brain scan shows one of depres­sion’s neur­al sig­na­tures [Read more…] about Machine learn­ing study finds stan­dard­ized brain scan bio­mark­er to detect depres­sion with 66% accuracy
