Your brain is ageing long before you notice it. Read on to know what neurologist says about managing healthy brain functioning after you turn 30.
Participants with metabolic syndrome had a significantly higher brain age gap than those without the condition, indicating accelerated brain aging. Brain age increased progressively with the number of ...
Restricting daily eating to an 8 to 9 hour window yields cognitive improvements in spatial planning and problem-solving for older, overweight women beyond the benefits of caloric reduction alone.
Over subsequent decades, couples accumulate shared experiences. They live in the same neighbourhoods, breathe the same air, eat similar diets, remain similarly active and encounter many of the same ...
EATING all your food in an eight to nine hour window each day could reduce your risk of dementia, a study has suggested. What’s more, stopping eating four hours before going to sleep may ...
Scientists have identified a possible tipping point that helps determine whether Alzheimer’s-related brain changes lead to dementia. The key may lie in how the brain’s immune cells respond to plaques and tau, offering a…
Julianne Moore's crucial health message! Why the Oscar winner wants you to prioritize brain health before Alzheimer's symptoms start ...
A recent study has discovered that the changes human brain undergoes in 40s and 50s could influence the risk for developing dementia in the future.
A landmark study says your brain can get sharper, not duller, with age. But is it as easy as it sounds?
Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia and affects millions of people around the world. It slowly damages memory, thinking and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Although ...
The World Health Organization (WHO) released updated guidelines on reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia, providing countries with evidence-based recommendations to help prevent ...
To compare the efficacy of lower-limb flywheel resistance training (FRT) versus conventional training (e.g., barbell and dumbbell exercises) on athletesâ sprinting and jumping abilities, and to identify optimal…
Estimating ground reaction forces (GRFs) with consumer-grade wearables could support accessible biomechanical monitoring outside laboratory settings. This study examined whether Apple Watch inertial measurement unit…
Soft drinks have been branded a “bullet to your brain” by a leading dementia expert, who says cutting it out could help lower the risk of cognitive decline. The warning comes after the World Health ...
A new study demonstrates that SuperAgers cannot be distinguished from cognitively average peers by APOE status or polygenic risk scores.
Increasing mechanical strain causes particle interactions to erase prior directional memory, providing a physical model for how short- and long-term biological memories compete and overwrite.
Keeping the brain healthy is often linked with exercise, a balanced diet, and staying mentally active. However, scientists now believe that financial security may also play an important role. A new ...
A new study demonstrates the feasibility of recall-by-genotype research using the diverse BioMe biobank.
Retirement is simple and appealing: work hard for decades, then stop. But research suggests that when work stops, something in the brain slips. The headline, that working longer tracks with better ...
Even mild inflammation during pregnancy led mouse offspring to develop persistent brain overactivity, sensory sensitivity, repetitive behaviors, and increased seizure risk. Remarkably, one dose of rapamycin improved…
Scientists expected SuperAgers might simply inherit fewer Alzheimer’s-related risks, but their genes looked much like those of typical older adults. Their extraordinary memories may instead come from still-unknown…
Newer oral drugs related to semaglutide medications such as Ozempic reduced pleasure-driven eating in mice by quieting a deep brain reward circuit. The finding could open new avenues for understanding food cravings and…
For most people, dementia sits in the same category as a lightning strike: terrifying, random, out of your hands. The largest review says otherwise: in its 2024 update, the Lancet Commission concluded ...
Frailty is often thought of as a normal part of growing older, but new research suggests it may have a much bigger impact on brain health than previously believed. Scientists have found that older ...
Researchers from the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) are playing a key role in the summer exhibition wONDERLAND at the Yper Museum. Thanks to interdisciplinary research on more than 1,000 excavated skeletons, they have…
(Brasil2/Canva) If you click on the TV and hear a voice from your childhood saying, "That idiot box is going to rot your brain!" – you're not alone. My grandma said exactly that whenever she walked by ...
There are 982,000 people living with dementia in the UK, according to Alzheimer’s Research UK, and this is expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Avoiding cognitive decline is a priority for many of ...
Museums, libraries, archives and heritage organizations face a difficult problem: Many of the objects they preserve are made from materials that naturally deteriorate.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder lacking effective disease-modifying therapies. A promising regenerative approach involves enhancing endogenous neurogenic capacity within the injured…
Factors influencing pupil size can be experimentally controlled or held constant in laboratory experiments, but how the pupil reflects changes in retinal input from the visual environment in real-world viewing conditions…
