PLIE Helps Patients with Alzheimer's
PLIE (Preventing Loss of Independence Through Exercise) is a new program that combines elements of Eastern and Western traditional exercises and emphasizes focus on performing basic functional movements,encouraging social engagement and increasing bodily awareness. In the small group studied, patients would arrive at the exercise facility not remembering that they had been there but would start going through the movements of the routine. This fits with what we know about Alzheimer's : memory for events is impaired but procedural memory holds out and resists declination.

Colicky Infants at Risk for Childhood Migraine
Children that presented to the ER with migraine were 6x more likely to have a history of colic during infancy.
It is theorized that colic may represent sensitization of the perivascular nerve terminals in the gut.
Sadly, the brain-gut relation remains one of the least understood and least researched areas of medicine.
