1/ 🧠 Is there a "hidden" brain signal that protects against age-related memory decline? Our new paper in @neurobiology-aging.bsky.social explores how periodic (oscillatory) and aperiodic (non-oscillatory) EEG activity may be a key biomarker for cognitive resilience in older adults. 🧵

🚨New paper alert! Our study led by @teanijarv.bsky.social investigated why some individuals with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) develop hemispheric asymmetry in tau pathology and what drives this phenomenon. Out now in Nature Communications! 🔗Full article: doi.org/10.1038/s414... A thread🧵👇

🧠✨How do we rebuild our memories? In our new study, we show that hippocampal ripples kickstart a coordinated expansion of cortical activity that helps reconstruct past experiences. We recorded iEEG from patients during memory retrieval... and found something really cool 👇(thread)

Eating a diet high in specific types of nutrients — including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, unsaturated fats, nuts, legumes, and low-fat dairy products — is associated with improved physical and mental health in older age, according to a study in Nature Medicine. #medsky 🧪

Check out our recent pre-print looking at resting-state EEG individual alpha peak frequency and aperiodic exponent and memory performance across episodic memory, working memory and visual short/term memory tasks in a sample of healthy older adults 🧠👵🏻

New research out in Psychophysiology (doi.org/10.1111/psyp...). The EEG aperiodic slope, thought to reflect cortical excitatory/inhibitory balance, was linked to temperament traits (surgency, regulation) in infancy and moderated associations between maternal anxiety/depression and infant regulation.
