A fascinating new study out of Michigan State has uncovered previously unseen "barrel structures", deep within the brain's cortex, that contribute to how the brain receives sensory data from the environment and decides what to pay attention to and what to ignore (http://msutoday.msu.edu/…/new-discovery-deepens-understand…/). These processes are critically important! The task of sorting and prioritizing the endless reams of data taken in by our senses is massive, and how well the brain does that task determines what we ultimately experience as "reality". At Neurologics, we are [...]

Do you know a high-intensity graduate, college or high school student? One who has established a record of excellence and high expectations--but who is having trouble focusing as pressure mounts and their studies deepen? Perhaps anxiety or depressive symptoms are creeping into their lives as well... Refer them to Neurologics! Neurologics offers advanced Brain Mapping and custom neurotraining programs to help pinpoint specific brain activities that underlie these common focus and mood issues--and then alleviate them.

Did you know that up to 1 in 40 people in the United States suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) over the course of their life? What's more, OCD is known frequently to occur alongside other illnesses, such as anxiety, depression, ADHD and eating disorders. Traditional treatments for OCD employ medication and cognitive behavioral therapy, to mixed results. Exciting research has been able to locate specific brain regions associated with OCD--these insights have opened the doors for breakthrough approaches to treatment for OCD that directly [...]

Check out the results of this exciting new study out of Carnegie Mellon! (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-16377-3) The researchers tested the ability of "high-density EEG" to capture more a fine-grained picture of brain activity than is measured by standard EEG methods. The results clearly showed that the closely-placed sensors used in high-density EEG produce markedly better data--a conclusion that strongly validates our clinical experiences at Neurologics.

Did you know that the pattern of ways that different regions of your brain connect to each other is as unique as your fingerprint? And when you include how those connections change over time as you think, the amazing uniqueness expands even further! That's why Neurologics measures brain activity in real time from three hundred different brain locations to construct a unique Brain Map for each client. Come visit us at https://neurologics.com/ to learn more about how Neurologics uses a unique Brain Map to power custom neurotraining [...]

Check out this new story about a team at Tel Aviv University that used virtual reality combined with treadmill exercise to reduce the likelihood of dangerous falls among Parkinson's patients: https://medicalxpress.com/…/2017-11-dual-virtual-realitytre…. In addition to the benefits for these kind of patients, the results were an exciting reminder of the potential for improving brain function and fostering neuroplasticity even under extreme circumstances--such as when up to 80% of dopaminergic neurons had already died within Parkinson's patients brains! The authors pointed to customization of the training protocols for [...]

Did you know that standard CT and MRI scans are severely limited in their ability to detect mild traumatic brain injury (MTBI)? MBTIs, such as most concussions, account for up to 75% of all TBIs, but frequently go undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. The problem is that these injuries can lack obvious outward symptoms, and can be easily missed by the usual array of diagnostic technologies. Don't let the word "mild" fool you--MTBIs can leave victims with debilitating and chronic impairments in thinking, psychology and behavior. [...]

New research reveals how standard antidepressants are frequently ineffective for those suffering from depression in conjunction with another chronic disease, such as kidney disease or hypertension (https://www.sciencedaily.com/releas…/2017/…/171106143613.htm). For patients in this frustrating and painful situation, other methods are clearly needed to address depression, the precise causes and remedies for which can be very specific to the individual. Brain Mapping can be highly effective at seeing the actual brain activities and regions connected to depressive symptoms—which can form the basis for a customized treatment program…a program [...]
