A team of neuroscientists from Universidad Politécnica de Madrid and Queen Sofia Foundation Alzheimer Center, both in Spain, has found that so-called superagers maintain memory as they grow older because they do not experience a decline in the integrity of their white brain matter.
Neuroscientists find integrity of white brain matter in superagers does not deteriorate, explains sharp memory retrieved 30 April 2024 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2024-04-neuroscientists-white-brain-superagers-deteriorate.html

Neuroscientists investigate how the target of an arm movement is spatially encoded in the primate brainSaturday evening at a well-attended stand-up party. Servers balance trays of appetizers over the heads of the guests. We spot donuts on one of these passing platters and decide in a matter of seconds in favor of the one on the far right. But then the waitress briefly disappears from our field of vision, only to reappear elsewhere.

Neuroscientists report a distinct role of touch receptors in treating chronic painPeople often experience the phenomenon of injuring a hand and feeling relief from vigorously shaking it. The mechanism behind this effect is fairly well explained by the 'gate control theory' of Melzack and Wall, but it is somewhat more complicated.

To understand cognition and its dysfunction, neuroscientists must learn its rhythmsIt could be very informative to observe the pixels on your phone under a microscope, but not if your goal is to understand what a whole video on the screen shows. Cognition is much the same kind of emergent property in the brain. It can only be understood by observing how millions of cells act in coordination, argues a trio of MIT neuroscientists.
