A study of Fruit flies has uncovered new insights into the brain’s sense of direction and how regions of the brain communicate to help us find our way. Researchers have discovered that people living with aphasia have more trouble coming up with words when they’re prompted by images and words that carry negative emotional meaning. Scientists have developed the first 3D-printed brain tissue that can grow and function like typical brain tissue, which will help researchers better understand how brain cells communicate.

There is accumulating evidence that dementia has a long preclinical phase that may begin years or even decades before a clinical diagnosis.1 In addition, data indicating the preclinical signs of dementia and declines in memory and other cognitive skills also include motor skill difficulties. It's difficult to tease out regular age-related changes in coordination and balance from those motor skills that put people at increased risk for dementia. Measures of preclinical impairments include changes in gait and walking speed, loss of muscle mass and strength, as well as reduced manual agility an…
