Gray matter and white matter functional connectivity changes induced by rTMS concurrent with cognitive training in Alzheimer's disease

Elsevier,

Brain Research Bulletin, Volume 228, August 2025
This study investigated how repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) combined with cognitive training affects functional connectivity in both gray matter and white matter in patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Results showed that rTMS modulated activity in key brain regions, particularly within the limbic system, with changes in white matter connectivity correlating with cognitive improvements.

Gene-by-environment interactions modulate the infant gut microbiota in asthma and atopy

Elsevier, Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, Volume 156, August 2025
This study investigated how host genetics and early-life environmental exposures influence the infant gut microbiota during the first year of life and its association with childhood asthma and allergic diseases by age 5 years. The researchers found that specific gut microbial changes and network clusters were associated with increased or decreased risk of asthma, wheeze, atopic dermatitis, and food/inhalant sensitization, with some associations being sex-specific

Balancing Environmental Sustainability and Nutrition: Dietary Climate Impact in Relation to Micronutrient Intake and Status in a Swedish Cohort

Elsevier,

Current Developments in Nutrition, Volume 9, August 2025
The study demonstrates that adopting more climate-friendly diets, which typically involve reduced animal-based food consumption and lower absolute micronutrient intakes, does not substantially increase the risk of micronutrient deficiencies for most nutrients. These findings underscore the importance of assessing both dietary intake and actual nutrient status when evaluating the nutritional consequences of sustainable eating patterns, supporting the potential health and environmental benefits of shifting toward climate-friendly diets.

Low-income citizens’ evaluation of policy interventions to promote healthy food choices

Elsevier,

Food Policy, Volume 135, August 2025
Low-income citizens show the highest support for food labeling and educational campaigns, viewing them as effective and less intrusive, while taxation and checkout prompts are least accepted due to perceived invasiveness. Policy support is strongly influenced by perceived effectiveness, intrusiveness, and individuals’ existing behaviors, suggesting tailored approaches are needed to improve acceptance and impact.
