According to Dr. Keegan Walden, who earned his PhD in clinical psychology from Northwestern University, extreme athletes and entrepreneurs may have similar brain function in the domain of what psychologists term "approach motivation".
By imitation of some vital nuclei in the brain to generate normal discharges, our proposed FPGA-based artificial neuronal networks have the potential to replace the injured nuclei to complete the brain function in the treatment of Parkinson's disease and epilepsy.
Twenty years is too long for seniors with longevity who need their mental capacity to remain independent or for those struggling to maintain brain function in the earliest stages of Alzheimer's.

The GO term of synapse and synapse part are unique in the transcriptome DETs, with most members first detected by transcriptome sequencing, providing good opportunities to study brain function in the locust phase change.
Age-related reduction in the activities of somatotropic axis may influence brain function in the elderly [ 67].
In this study, we hypothesized that long-time online game playing changed the brain functions in the regions that are related with vision or hearing.
