Fascinating evolutionary advancement to anticipate infection.
Avatars who appear to be sick entering the peripersonal space in virtual reality are anticipated by multisensory–motor areas, activate the salience network, and trigger activation of innate lymphoid cells, mirroring responses seen in actual infections

Monoclonal antibodies in #Alzheimers clear amyloid plaques and increase Aβ42. High Aβ42 levels improve cognition. Removing amyloid comes with risks: brain edema ('ARIA') and faster brain atrophy. The trade-off is not worth it.

Neuroscientists just turned a major Alzheimer's theory on its head
New research suggests Alzheimer's drugs may improve cognition by increasing Aβ42 levels rather than just reducing plaques, challenging the amyloid cascade hypothesis and pointing to new therapeutic st...
