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.

Machine learning study finds standardized brain scan biomarker to detect depression with 66% accuracy
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
