AnalyzeDirect Could Physical Activity Delay Cognitive Decline?
Along with increased longevity comes a greater risk of developing age-related diseases, cognitive impairment and dementia. Developing effective strategies to reduce the risk of cognitive decline or slow its progression is, therefore, critical. Vascular risk factors, including hypertension, heart disease, smoking, hypercholesterolemia, and lack of physical activity, have been identified as modifiable risk factors contributing…
White Matter Measurement Helps Predict Cognitive and Language Impairment in Tiny Preemies
Cognitive function and language development in children with neurodevelopmental delays can be helped dramatically through early detection and targeted interventions during infancy. In a recent study conducted at the Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital (CMHH) and The University of Texas Medical School at Houston, scientists developed a specialized tool for measuring white matter abnormalities in the…
