But the importance of sleep to our brain function may be even more fundamental.
Cognitive deficits may develop as a result of brain dysfunction, and these may also be targets of remediation techniques designed to compensate for, or directly strengthen, those functions that were weakened.
Thus, understanding diabetes-induced alterations in brain function is important for developing early interventions for neurodegeneration.
If pruning goes to excess, or goes wrong, it could lead to major problems in brain function, and that may be what we're seeing here".
Thus, suppression of CCL2 signaling in aged brains may not develop adverse effects on neurons.
Researchers are also looking for dietary patterns and specific nutrients that may enhance brain function and so reduce the risk of developing dementia (Solfrizzi et al 2003; Yen 2003; Whalley et al 2004; Luchsinger and Mayeux 2004).
Investigating PG as a model of addictive behavior is attractive because it may reveal how addictive behaviors can develop and affect brain function, without the confounding effects of (neurotoxic) substances.
It has also been suggested that the toxins generated by some parasites may affect brain function.
The study will compare socially assistive robots with computers in tasks that enhance learning and may improve brain function.
Antiretroviral side effects including metabolic derangements may impact brain function.
