The findings may help identify possible therapeutic strategies to treat
cognitive defects in human patients
Healthy fats rich in omega - 3 fatty acids such as walnuts and flax seeds may also play a role in
reversing cognitive defects and decreasing risk of Alzheimer's disease.
PD is also associated
with cognitive defects attributed to breakdowns in connectivity between regions of the brain.
In a surprising new study out of Stanford published in 2013, researchers reported that amyloids actually relieved paralysis in mice suffering from a rodent version of multiple sclerosis (MS), in which immune cells go haywire, attacking the fatty myelin sheathing that insulates nerves and
causing cognitive defects and loss of motor control.
As a result, mutations that impair the function of tails or prevent them from developing altogether can have serious consequences,
from cognitive defects to blindness.
In a pair of papers from NASA in 1965 and 1967, researchers found that chimpanzees could survive up to 3.5 minutes in near - vacuum conditions with no
apparent cognitive defects, as measured by complex tasks months later.
In 2013, a team led by Gerard Karsenty, the Paul A. Marks Professor and chair of the department of genetics and development at Columbia University Medical Center, showed that mice lacking osteocalcin have
major cognitive defects.
Because the participants weren't yet showing signs of dementia or obvious problems, they used a series of tests designed to evaluate several different forms of learning and memory and detect early, otherwise
unnoticeable cognitive defects.
In a statement in support of the charges filed in June, CJC Acting Chairman Stephen E. Neel wrote that a combination of personality factors and
cognitive defects impair Murphy's fitness to be a judge.
What's more, they noticed that mice treated with anti-IFNAR had a reduction in behavioral signs associated with mental illnesses such as anxiety and
cognitive defects.
