Neuroscience Reveals Blueprint for Habit Transformation

Researchers at Trinity College Dublin have developed a new framework linking neuroscience with practical strategies to effectively form and break habits, with implications for personal growth, clinical treatments, and public health. The study highlights the role of two brain systems—automatic responses and goal-directed control—in habit formation and change. By understanding and leveraging these systems, the framework offers strategies for behavior change, including repetition, environmental adjustments, and personalized interventions, potentially improving treatments for compulsive disorders and informing public health strategies.

"Variability in Human Visual Perception Speed Uncovered by Scientists"

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin have found that individuals vary widely in their ability to perceive rapidly changing visual cues, known as "temporal resolution." Using the critical flicker fusion threshold, they discovered that some people can perceive flickering light at much higher frequencies than others. This variation may provide certain individuals with an advantage in activities where quick visual processing is crucial, such as in sports or competitive gaming. The study suggests that differences in perception speed could impact how individuals interact with their environment and each other, with potential implications for fields like zoology, genetics, and psychology.

Unraveling the Mystery of Long COVID Brain Fog

Scientists from Dublin, Ireland, have discovered a link between brain fog in long COVID patients and leaky blood vessels in their brains, indicating increased inflammation. This finding may help in identifying those at risk of developing neurological symptoms in post-viral illnesses, including long COVID. The research, conducted at Trinity College Dublin, could provide validation for long COVID patients and offer important metrics for developing treatments and a cure, as current diagnosis and treatment options are limited.

"Link Between Leaky Blood Vessels and Long COVID Brain Fog Uncovered"

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro have discovered a link between Long COVID and brain fog, identifying disruption to the integrity of blood vessels in the brains of affected patients. This breakthrough finding offers new insights for diagnosing and treating the condition, potentially transforming the approach to post-viral neurological syndromes. The study, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests that leaky blood vessels in the brain, in tandem with a hyperactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog associated with Long COVID, paving the way for targeted therapies in the future.

"Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier Linked to Long COVID Brain Fog, Study Finds"

A study from Trinity College Dublin suggests that "brain fog" in long COVID patients may be caused by a leaky blood-brain barrier, leading to forgetfulness and difficulty concentrating. Researchers found that long COVID patients with brain fog showed signs of a leaky blood-brain barrier, while those without brain fog did not. The study highlights the potential link between leaky blood vessels in the brain and long-term COVID symptoms, providing insight for future targeted therapies.

"Uncovering the Root Cause of Long COVID Brain Fog"

A team of scientists from Trinity College Dublin and FutureNeuro has discovered that the brain fog and cognitive decline experienced by some Long COVID patients may be linked to disruption in the integrity of blood vessels in the brain. This "leakiness" of blood vessels was found to be a distinguishing factor in patients with brain fog and cognitive decline compared to those with Long COVID but without brain fog. The findings, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggest that understanding the underlying cause of these conditions could lead to the development of targeted therapies for affected patients. The research was supported by Science Foundation Ireland, the European Research Council, and FutureNeuro.

"Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier Identified as Cause of Long COVID Brain Fog"

Researchers from Trinity College Dublin have discovered that leaky blood vessels in the brain, in conjunction with a hyperactive immune system, may be the key drivers of brain fog associated with long COVID. This finding, published in Nature Neuroscience, provides a significant breakthrough in understanding the underlying cause of cognitive decline in some long COVID patients and may lead to the development of targeted therapies in the future. The study also suggests that similar mechanisms may be at play across various types of viral infections, shedding light on potential neurological dysfunction in patients.

Quantum Computer Simulates Super Diffusion

Trinity College Dublin, in collaboration with IBM Dublin, has successfully simulated super diffusion in a system of interacting quantum particles on a quantum computer. This achievement marks a significant step towards performing complex quantum transport calculations on quantum hardware, which could provide new insights in condensed matter physics and materials science. The research, conducted as part of the TCD-IBM predoctoral scholarship program, utilized a 27-qubit quantum computer located in IBM's lab in New York and programmed remotely from Dublin. Quantum simulation allows for the efficient description of complex quantum systems, overcoming the limitations of classical computers. The team focused on simulating the long-time behavior of spin excitations in a Heisenberg chain, observing super-diffusive transport governed by the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation.
