"Neuroscience News: Unveiling Perception's Pathways in Top 5 Advances"

This week's top neuroscience news includes a promising Alzheimer's vaccine targeting senescence-associated glycoprotein, the unveiling of the cGAS/STING pathway's role in chronic inflammation and aging, the identification of sensory neurons in the colon, a study showing that nightly aromatherapy enhances cognitive capacity in older adults, and a challenge to the long-standing Libet paradigm of free will, suggesting that the readiness potential may not directly correlate with conscious decision-making. These discoveries deepen our understanding of neuroscience and its impact on conditions like Alzheimer's, inflammation-related aging, gastrointestinal disorders, cognitive decline, and human autonomy.
