Sleepless and Alone: The Impact of Sleep Loss on Human Social Behavior
–
Research from Dr. Eti Ben Simon suggests insufficient sleep may be an under-appreciated contributing factor. Even modest sleep loss can erode social connections, hamper altruistic behavior, and heighten subjective anxiety, revealing the transformative impact of insufficient sleep on healthy adults. Sleep is thus a critical and causal factor for sustaining emotional health, social connectedness, and broader societal well-being.

MRI Biomarkers for Vascular Cognitive Impairment and Dementia
–
Brain imaging provides an important opportunity for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment monitoring in vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID). In this talk, Dr. Hanzhang Lu discusses a potential framework of biomarkers for the classification of vascular cognitive impairment and dementia (VCID), specifically describing cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR), an important physiological parameter of vascular health, as a candidate biomarker in small vessel disease related VCID.
