The precuneus is one of the first areas affected by Alzheimer’s. Gently zapping the precuneus may slow memory loss in the early stages of Alzheimer’s, research suggests.

When lucid dreaming begins, gamma waves increase in the right precuneus, which is involved in self-referential thinking—thoughts about ourselves and our lives.

The precuneus plays a key role in self-awareness and visual imagery. This gamma spike occurred exactly when dreamers first recognized they were dreaming—essentially capturing the brain’s ...

This change indicates a shift in how we perceive ourselves within dreams when we become lucid. Perhaps most compelling was the detection of gamma frequency activity (30-36 Hz) in the precuneus region ...

“However, in the group that did strength training, the right side of the hippocampus and precuneus were protected from atrophy. This result justifies the importance of regular weight training ...
