Ayurvedic Approach on Memory Stimulation in Guadeloupe: A Pilot Study | Chapter 01 | Issues and Development in Health Research Vol. 6

Background: We decided to give cognitive stimulation sessions in order to avoid Alzheimer's disease.

Our study's objectives are to assess the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation over three months, as well as to estimate the effects of the three ayurvedic constitutional categories on the effectiveness of cognitive stimulation.

Methods: We used self-assessment questionnaires that included Prakriti and memory complaint, as well as several scales of perceived health (cognitive, physical, mental, and well-being/quality of life) and an associative memory test to look at the ayurvedic categories, overall health perceptions, associative memory complaint, and evolution in 28 healthy elderly people at T1 and T2 (three months later), as well as 12 healthy controls who weren't stimulated.

The Pitta-Kapha population has the highest representation. Between the two eras, the severity of cognitive and holistic state reduces, but not physical health. Cognitive and memory problems are either minor or non-existent. We may evaluate our health perception and associative memory predictions using regression models.

Conclusion: Cognitive stimulation is beneficial, and ayurvedic categories provide a valuable framework for understanding individual differences in cognitive functioning in healthy older adults.

Performance Improvement of Reading Brain Function Considering Quantified Analysis of Highly Specialized Neurons: A Neural Networks Approach | Chapter 2 | New Ideas Concerning Science and Technology Vol. 10

 This study uses the (ANN) model concept, which is inspired by the functioning of highly specialised biological neurons in the reading brain and is focused on the organisation of the brain's structures/substructures. Furthermore, the presented models closely correspond to the output of these neurons for developing the reading brain in a significant way, in accordance with the prevalent definition of individual intrinsically characterised properties of highly specialised neurons. More specifically, models were introduced that were concerned with their crucial role in achieving cognitive brain function outcomes. The reading brain's cognitive aim is to convert the orthographic word into a spoken word (phonological word form). In this sense, the presented work demonstrates the following via ANN simulation results: How ensembles of highly specialised neurons can be dynamically involved in the development of the reading brain's cognitive function. This research demonstrates how a flock of neurons interacts with each other to perform a specific common function (reading) through visual and auditory brain areas.
