Article Synopsis
- Patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) often face cognitive impairments due to structural disconnections in the brain, affecting how different regions communicate dynamically for normal cognitive function.* -
- The study analyzed brain imaging data from a cohort of MS patients, categorizing them based on cognitive function and identifying different functional networks involved, such as the visual and default mode networks.* -
- Cognitively impaired patients showed less frequent transitions between brain connectivity states and required more energy to make these transitions, suggesting that their brains struggle to adapt functionally compared to cognitively preserved patients.*

Stem cell research is the product of cumulative, integrated effort between and within laboratories and disciplines. The many collaborative steps that lead to that special "Eureka moment", when something that has been a puzzle perhaps for years suddenly become clear, is among the greatest pleasures of a scientific career. In this essay, the serendipitous pathway from first acquaintance with pluripotent stem cells to advanced cardiovascular models that emerged from studying development and disease will be described.

Many famous scientists have reported anecdotes where a new understanding occurred to them suddenly, in an unexpected flash. Do people generally experience such "Eureka" moments when learning science concepts? And if so, do these episodes truly vehicle sudden insights, or is this impression illusory? To address these questions, we developed a paradigm where participants were taught the mathematical concept of geodesic, which generalizes the common notion of straight line to straight trajectories drawn on curved surfaces. After studying lessons introducing this concept on the sphere, participants (N = 56) were tested on their understanding of geodesics on the sphere and on other surfaces.
