The article discusses a study that uses non-invasive brain scanning combined with computer modeling to measure how the Alzheimer’s drug memantine interacts with brain receptors in living patients, aiming to confirm drug action without invasive procedures. It also shows how these methods can track changes in brain activity over time in people with cognitive impairment or Alzheimer’s disease.

This approach is of interest to psychology readers because it demonstrates how brain activity and receptor dynamics relate to cognitive function and disease progression, and it highlights innovative methods for studying brain mechanisms in living humans.

I don't know for sure what really caused my tinnitus to become continuous. But the onset is strongly correlated with my two consecutive surgical awarenesses. Got pretty noticeable with the first one and now it's non-stop, loud, high pitched, and completely maddening.

I can't afford #ketamineinfusions out of pocket, regardless of whether it's for my #PTSD or for tinnitus.
