What if assessing someone’s balance was as simple as recording a video?

Researchers at Queen’s University showed that markerless motion capture can accurately measure balance and postural control using video cameras alone.

What if treating depression also meant treating brain metabolism? This pilot study from the Brietzke Lab found a medically supervised ketogenic diet was feasible, safe, and associated with significant improvements in moderate-to-severe depression symptoms. https://t.co/89QttpNWTm

🧠✨ New publication from the Gallivan Lab: The brain doesn’t just learn—it replays.

This study shows that faster motor relearning is driven by the reinstatement of large-scale brain network patterns formed during initial learning. https://t.co/p6WicreOI3
