New research reveals how the brain decides which memories to link — and which to keep separate — with major implications for cognition and dementia.
New research links internalized stress and hopelessness to faster memory decline, pointing to a modifiable risk factor for cognitive aging.
New research reveals brain movement inside the skull is mechanically driven by abdominal contractions, not heartbeat or breathing.
Neuroscientist Dr. Tommy Wood breaks down diet, exercise, supplementation, and cognitive stimulation strategies to protect brain health across your lifespan.
New single-nucleus RNA sequencing reveals immature neurons persist in aged human hippocampus and may actively support cognitive resilience in Alzheimer's disease.
Overexpressing Sox9 in brain support cells triggers plaque cleanup and protects cognition in Alzheimer's mouse models.
A 4-week pilot trial finds nicotinamide riboside boosts cerebrovascular response and cognitive performance in older adults with peripheral artery disease.
New research links early dopamine neuron dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex to memory loss in Alzheimer's — and L-DOPA reversed it in mice.
Somatic mutations found in cancer driver genes accumulate in Alzheimer's brain macrophages, potentially driving the neuroinflammation that accelerates disease.
New Nature Medicine research links harmful physical and social exposures to accelerated brain aging, with major implications for dementia prevention.
New single-nucleus and spatial transcriptomics data reveal glial cells—not just neurons—are central players in Alzheimer's disease pathology.
Researchers propose redesigning memory clinic services to match patient complexity with the right level of specialist oversight.
