Commenting as an independent expert, Dr Jun Nishiyama, Assistant Professor in the Neuroscience and Behavioural Disorders programme at Duke-NUS Medical School said, "It is well-known that brain performance declines with ageing, yet the underlying causes remained elusive. This groundbreaking study from NTU Singapore offers key neurological insights into age-related working memory decline, highlighting reduced neuronal communication in the mouse prefrontal cortex beginning from middle age. This research emphasises the importance of early, strategic interventions to combat cognitive decline, providing a vital framework for future ageing research and brain health maintenance."

Health maintenance organizations, or HMOs, tend to be cheaper but lack the out-of-network flexibility.

Traditional Medicare pays doctors and hospitals a fee for each service they render, but with Medicare Advantage, private health plans — most operating as health maintenance organizations — are paid a set amount per patient per month, regardless of how many, or how few, medical services are used.

The organization operates like a health maintenance organization, in which it is paid a fixed sum to care for someone through a closed network of hospitals and doctors.

Coverage of telehealth will be extended to June 30, 2025, by the Maryland Medical Assistance Program and certain insurers, nonprofit health services plans and health maintenance organizations.
