Neural contributions to reduced fluid intelligence across the adult lifespan
Fluid intelligence – the ability to solve novel, complex problems – declines steeply during healthy human aging. Despite consensus that fluid intelligence is associated with particular frontoparietal brain regions, little research has investigated suggestions that under-responsiveness of these regions mediates age-related decline. Using fMRI data collected for the Cambridge Centre for Ageing and Neuroscience (Cam-CAN), […]
Rare data from awake brain tumor surgeries create a detailed map of the frontal lobes
Intraoperative mapping during awake neurosurgeries guides the resection of brain tumors to minimize the loss of healthy tissue and preserve brain function. This is usually done through “zapping brains” i.e. sending a weak electrical current, and thereby temporarily switching off certain areas. If patients stop being able to do basic things, such as counting or […]

Lack of computer access linked to poorer mental health in young people during COVID-19 pandemic
Cambridge researchers have highlighted how lack of access to a computer was linked to poorer mental health among young people and adolescents during COVID-19 lockdowns. The team found that the end of 2020 was the time when young people faced the most difficulties and that the mental health of those young people without access to […]
