Participatory programs critical for rehabilitation of older adults in long-term care
A group of researchers has developed a new program showing participation and activity is critical for the rehabilitation of older adults in long-term care.
The results of their research were published in the journal
PLOS ONE on February 12, 2021.
Our study shows participatory programs that encourage elderly patients to be active need greater emphasis in elderly care centers.

Researchers at Tohoku University have revealed further insight into the fetal development of our brain and the potential causes of Fragile X syndrome (FSX).
During brain development, the fetal period is vital in creating neurons from neural stem cells to build up a functional adult brain. Any impairment in the developmental program could result in severe defects in the brain.
FSX is a genetic disorder characterized by intellectual disability and autistic symptoms. Children with FSX will generally suffer from developmental delays as well as social and behavioral problems.
FSX patients have a defect in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene, a gene that codes for the fragile X mental retardation protein (FNRP) the critical factor in normal brain development.
