Knee surgery is the most common joint surgery in North America. Research suggests that mental factors play a significant role in diminished knee function and especially affect joint stability, stiffness, and anticipatory movement. Now, in an interesting and surprising new study, researchers found that a small amount of BrainHQ training helped people recover from knee surgery. Learn more.

Challenging what we thought we know
Alzheimer’s disease is a type of dementia that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. Scientists have been researching this condition for a long time. Among experts, there is a dominant view of how Alzheimer’s begins. It’s called the amyloid cascade hypothesis. Now, research at the University of Toronto focusing on the early stages of Alzheimer’s challenges this long-held view. Learn about this long-held view and the impact this research has on it.

Predictive brain waves
Imagine being able to predict blood-sugar levels through sleep. The link between sleep and predicting blood-sugar levels may not be so farfetched. After all, researchers have known that a lack of sleep can increase the risk of diabetes. They just weren’t sure why. Findings from a team of sleep scientists point to how and why deep-sleep brain waves are able to regulate insulin and improve blood-sugar control. See what this study’s findings have to tell us.

Breastfeeding and healthy minds
Breastfeeding has long been recommended as the ideal source of nutrition for newborns as it provides essential nutrients and antibodies that support the immune system. Although earlier studies have shown the cognitive benefits of breast milk, it wasn’t clear what specific components were responsible for this. Read on to discover what researchers have identified as an essential component in breast milk.
