Human response times are governed by dual anticipatory processes with distinct neural signatures by Ashwin G. Ramayya, Vivek Buch, Andrew Richardson, Timothy Lucas, Joshua I. Gold

“…These results suggest that human anticipatory behavior emerges from a combination of motor-preparatory and attention-like modulations of neural activity, implemented by anatomically widespread and intermixed, but functionally identifiable, brain networks.…”

White Matter Lesions and Cognitive Impairment as Silent Cerebral Disease in Hypertension by Cristina Sierra, Antonio Coca

“…Correlations between cerebral white matter lesions and elevated blood pressure provide indirect evidence that structural and functional changes in the brain over time may lead to lowered cognitive functioning when blood pressure control is poor or lacking.Some authors have suggested that the presence of white matter lesions in hypertensive patients could be considered an early marker of brain damage.…”

GSK-3β at the Intersection of Neuronal Plasticity and Neurodegeneration by Tomasz Jaworski, Ewa Banach-Kasper, Katarzyna Gralec

“…Thus, GSK-3β is a relevant therapeutic target for the treatment of many brain disorders. Here, we provide an overview of how GSK-3β is regulated in physiological synaptic plasticity and how aberrant GSK-3β activity contributes to the development of dysfunctional synaptic plasticity in neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disorders.…”
