When we get lost in nature or a new city, our eyes and brains kick into gear, seeking familiar objects that tell us where we are.</p> <p>How our brains distinguish objects from background when finding direction, however, was largely a mystery. A new study provides valuable insight into this process, with possible implications for disorientation-causing conditions such as Alzheimer’s.</p> Thu, 11 Sep 2025 18:09:44 +0000 admin 11789 at /medsimcentre Friends, parks and brain wiring predict whether people exercise after a cardiovascular diagnosis /medsimcentre/channels/news/friends-parks-and-brain-wiring-predict-whether-people-exercise-after-cardiovascular-diagnosis-368449 <b>Findings could help tailor interventions to encourage physical activity in older people with heart and blood flow conditions </b> <p>A diagnosis is often a cue for people to change the way they live. For people diagnosed with cardiovascular conditions such as heart disease or diabetes, it is often a motivator to get more physical exercise, which can improve long-term health.
