Altered brain glucose metabolism as a mechanism for delirium?
Delirium is a common condition with significant impact on patient outcome. This episode discussed potential intrinsic brain mechanisms that may underly delirium. The team explores the evidence that delirium is more than just a systemic process that extends into the brain but may involve pathophysiological alterations of brain function.

Of language, brain health, and global inequities
Speech and language assessments have emerged as crucial tools in combatting one of the greatest public health challenges of our century, the growth of neurodegenerative disorders. In this blog post, Adolfo M. García explores how a lack of linguistic diversity in assessment methods threatens their potential for more equitable testing worldwide.
It’s time to use software-as-medicine to help an injured brain
Multiple mild Traumatic Brain Injuries (“mTBIs”) can put military service members at an elevated risk of cognitive impairment. Service members and veterans were enrolled in a trial with a new type of brain training program, based on the science of brain plasticity and the discovery that intensive, adaptive, computerized training—targeting sensory speed and accuracy—can rewire the brain to improve cognitive function. The trial found that the training program significantly improved overall cognitive function.
How air pollution may lead to Alzheimer’s disease
Air pollution harms billions of people worldwide. Over the past few decades, it has become widely recognized that outdoor air pollution is detrimental to respiratory and cardiovascular health, but recently scientists have come to acknowledge the damage it may cause on the brain as well.
When narcolepsy makes you more creative
Patients with narcolepsy are often lucid dreamers, and experience direct transitions from wakefulness into REM sleep. Lacaux et al. report that these patients perform better than healthy controls on creativity tests, supporting a role for REM sleep in creativity.
