Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson discusses his fears of developing dementia, recovering from a severe brain haemorrhage, and shares touching tributes to his late wife, Cathy.
A UCLA study links faster brain aging to specific gut bacteria and chemical byproducts, with older-looking brains also associated with poorer memory, focus, and mood. The findings suggest that biological signs of brain…
A 20-year study shows that a specific type of brain training can cut dementia risk. Here's why it works.
A new historical profile in the Journal of Neurology reexamines the career of Luigi Luciani, the Italian physiologist whose cerebellar ablation experiments and cortical localization studies shaped ...
Cognitive flexibility, the ability to adjust one's way of thinking or behavior as a situation changes, is known to gradually decline with age or due to some conditions, including Alzheimer's disease, ...
Exercise may support brain health through changes in blood flow, metabolism, and inflammation, but those benefits do not appear to arise equally from every kind of activity. Credit: Stock Not all ...
Tracking 5,500 teens reveals higher daily step counts thicken emotion-regulating brain regions and reduce depression and anxiety.
Scientists discover mitochondrial transporter SLC25A34 connects the body clock, cold, and diet to control brown fat burning.
Scientists have linked a gut bacterial compound called ImP to greater Alzheimer’s risk, harmful brain protein buildup, and faster cognitive decline. The finding raises the possibility that reducing ImP in the blood could…
The way we speak may reveal how quickly we are ageing, with older-sounding speech linked to dementia and brain changes. View on euronews ...
A new study identifies central amygdala neurons that trigger severe anxiety from cannabis under stressful conditions.
Humans refuse to attribute consciousness to AI even when it acts identically to a human.
Comparing your current body to past versions of yourself causes severe body dissatisfaction and eating issues.
Primate brains shift spatial coordinates during optical illusions, but AI vision networks fail to adapt.
They are on the cutting edge of research into Australia’s biggest killer – dementia – and working on ways to make life easier for those living with the condition.
A UCL-led project reducing MRI scan times from around 20 minutes to seven minutes, and a new hearing test, have received funding to be trialled on the NHS to help diagnose dementia.
Scientists identify a neural circuit linking the biological clock to dopaminergic neurons and the mushroom body to control wakefulness.
A new study reveals functional brain wiring changes separate Alzheimer's from normal aging before symptoms appear.
A new study discovers a brain circuit in the anterior hypothalamus acting as a "volume knob" that dials up future stress reactivity after trauma.
A new computational model reveals why modern wide-gamut displays look different to different viewers due to retinal cone variability and lens aging.
Researchers believe they can slash the time patients spend in an MRI scanner from 20 minutes to as little as six minutes, while still obtaining all the diagnostic information they need.
As you get older, your brain cells gradually decrease, and once you have dementia, you can't
One reason may be menopause, the time in midlife when sex hormones drop and menstruation stops—and which some researchers are coming to see as a stress test for the brain. Menopause “affects brain ...
UCLA researchers show for the first time that human brain assembloids can reproduce the hallmark electrical changes seen during general anesthesia.
While eating an overall healthy and balanced diet is key, studies show that there are several specific foods that, when eaten too frequently, can up our odds of developing dementia.
The Bates Program in Neuroscience kicked off its new Neuroscience Seminar Series with a talk from Peter Strick P’98, Thomas Detre Professor and Chair of Neurobiology at the University of Pittsburgh.
Ochsner Health announces the opening of The Debra H. and Robert J. Patrick Neuroscience Institute, a first-of-its-kind destination for neuroscience care in the Gulf South region. The ...
The Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE4 may actively damage brain blood vessels and sabotage the cellular systems that remove harmful proteins. Researchers were able to reverse some of these effects in experiments, revealing…
Phones now remember everything from birthdays to passwords, raising concerns about our own memory. A neurologist explains what everyday forgetfulness may mean and when it could signal dementia. Read ...
