Brain Theories That’ll Not Only Surprise You But Also Help You Understand It Better

A human brain is full of mysteries. No matter how much research goes behind this particular organ, the results are always surprising, and sometimes shocking as well. For a very long-time, people were forced to believe that there’s nothing much we could do to augment the functionality of an individual brain rather than watch its functions decline with time. But surprisingly, in the past few decades scientists have come up with some amazing theories and revelations that still need to be attested and discussed.

You’ll find it interesting to know that they’ve made some very successful attempts to understand the complexities of human brains and how these small changes affect our everyday lives. In this post, we’ll be looking at the results of some studies that just might change the way you perceive a human brain.
A steady and satisfactory research
Since the last decade, the pace of brain research has caught up at a steady speed, be it understanding cognitive decline or identifying the steps that would help in reducing the risk of dementia.
The main reason behind this can be understanding and recognizing the importance of the brain and mental health, especially in this fast-moving world and aging society. No doubt, there’s still a lot of work that needs to be performed, yet whatever conclusions have been brought into light, seem extremely satisfying and promising.

Detecting AD on the initial stage
Alzheimer’s disease or AD is an extremely scary and worrisome subject for anyone to discuss, even doctors. Marwan Sabbagh, M.D. (Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center of brain health), states that doctors are very reluctant when it comes to diagnosing AD.
With the help of science, a recent advancement in the realm of identifying Alzheimer’s has come to the surface. Known as PrecivityAD, it’s a test fully approved under FDA guidelines that measures the level of amyloid proteins in the patient’s blood. And if the levels seem to look a little doubtful, more tests can be recommended at a later stage.
Drugs that are helpful
Usually, people with AD develop clots of beta-amyloid protein in their brains. For many years scientists have been researching the right method to find a way that helps in blocking the buildup of this protein. Now it seems, a drug called Aducanumab has finally been found, which though isn’t full-proof, does promise a better life. It helps in blocking certain serotonin receptors that cause paranoia, hallucinations, and delusions.

In our opinion
A healthy brain helps us make better decisions and lead a healthier lifestyle. Understanding the complexities of how our brains work can undoubtedly help us improve the way we live and perceive life.
