Cognitive Flexibility and White Matter

Check out this summary of an intriguing new study by researchers at Drexel University and the University of Pennsylvania: http://neurosciencenews.com/focus-attention-neuroscience-8…/ It examines how cognitive flexibility--the brain's ability to shift between modes of mental functioning--is connected to how closely patterns of brain activity align with underlying patterns of structure in white matter. The results represent another step towards understanding the connection between brain structures, their measurable activities, and important human behaviors. These sorts of connections are vital to Neurologics' mission, and studies like this one show [...]

Concussions Among Adolescents and Children

Did you know that a recent study (https://www.neuroskills.com/resources/special-reports.php…) found that concussion diagnoses among children and adolescents increased more than 50% between 2010 and 2014? These findings are mirrored by reports from medical insurance companies and others. Most agree that the steep increase in diagnoses comes largely from an increase in awareness of concussion risks, particularly among those who participate in concussion-prone sports. Handling concussion incidents and recovery carefully is especially critical with children and adolescents, whose brains are in phases of intense development. Neurologics is [...]
