Magnetoencephalography (MEG) equipment used to study brain activity. Resting-state MEG data was collected before and after the season from 91 high school football players, including 10 diagnosed with a concussion. MEG measures magnetic fields generated by the brain’s electrical currents, offering insights into neural activity.

Lipid deposits (green) in brain immune cells (red) from mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease all but disappear (right) after the mice are treated with an experimental drug. Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have found that a form of cholesterol known as cholesteryl esters builds up in the brains of mice with Alzheimer’s-like disease, and that clearing out the cholesteryl esters helps prevent brain damage and behavioral changes.

Restless sleep correlates with lower connectivity between the default mode network nodes, and default mode network and somatomotor network nodes. The default mode network is a group of brain regions that are active when we are at rest, not focusing on any specific task. The somatomotor network involves brain regions that are responsible for controlling movement and processing sensations from the body, such as touch and physical feedback.
