Even naps under 30 minutes raised dementia risk 40% in a Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health study of nearly 1,000 older adults.
Habits I Focus On to Stimulate the BrainDementia is a brain disease that can happen to anyone.There is no way to prevent it completely yet. However, research suggests that by making adjustments to ...
Pollution has long been indirectly linked with dementia. Now scientists wonder if it may be physically reshaping the brain.
Cerebral Cavernous Malformation causes fragile, bleeding vascular lesions in the brain with no non-surgical treatment options. Researchers discovered that dabrafenib, an approved childhood cancer drug, suppresses vessel…
Astrocytes are not a uniform support crew. A breakthrough study in Nature reveals that CD51-positive astrocyte subtypes specialize in building synapses via glypican 6, tuning hippocampal memory circuits, and repairing…
Angelman syndrome stems from a missing maternal UBE3A gene, but how it disrupts brain growth has remained unclear. Researchers at WashU Medicine discovered that accumulating asparagine synthetase tricks neurons into a…
Turning raw brain scans into diagnostic discoveries currently requires weeks of complex computing across fragmented tools. A new $2.8M NIH-funded platform called UniBrain unites the entire neuroimaging pipeline into a…
In this Tools of the Trade article, Peter Kalugin discusses the development of multiplexed optical recording of sensors on a micro-endoscope (MORSE) to track combinatorial hormone, neurotransmitter, ...
Memory Bread is a secret gadget that allows you to remember the contents of a book by pressing it against the pages to copy the text and then eating it. In real-world technology, this corresponds to ...
Alzheimer’s affects more than just the patient. From sleep deprivation and chronic stress to emotional exhaustion, read how caregiving can take a toll on family members and why their wellbeing matters ...
Dementia is often associated with old age, but protecting the brain is a lifelong undertaking that begins in childhood and continues well into adulthood. By the time memory problems become apparent, ...
Cognitive function can decline in anyone with age, but it can also be maintained for a long time with proper management. Rather than suspecting dementia solely because memory has declined, the cause ...
How brain activity measurements could help bakers understand reactions to functional bread’s texture, flavour and nutritional messaging.
Dr. Marissa Sakoda, a neurologist at Straub Benioff Medical Center, joined Healthier Hawaii to explain the difference and what people can do to keep their minds sharp as they age. Sakoda said the ...
Generative AI can create masterpieces in seconds, but a new analysis reveals it breaks the crucial link between making art and personal growth. Hebrew University's Amit Zoran argues that the future of creativity belongs…
Surviving sepsis often leaves patients with lasting memory deficits. Researchers discovered that peripheral macrophages infiltrate the hippocampus during acute infection, establish lifelong residency, and signal…
Non-invasive focused ultrasound targeting the globus pallidus interna safely eases delusions in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.
This is the Fall 2026 Membership Meeting of the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders. Members will receive an update on current activities, discuss emerging topics, and plan for future ...
Direct analysis of living human hippocampal tissue reveals that an overabundance of abnormal immature astroglia tracks with poorer fluid intelligence. The discovery identifies non-neuronal support cells as a novel…
Pregnant women who develop restless legs syndrome during their third trimester face three times the risk of perinatal depression compared to those without the sleep movement disorder. A study of over 2,400 mothers…
In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers have asked people from across Scotland what questions they want scientists to answer about dementia and brain health, in the hope of driving forward better ...
A seemingly harmless routine practiced by as many as a third to half of people over the age of 65 threatens to derail efforts to keep dementia at bay.
Scientists have found a promising way to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s-related damage by blocking immune cells that contribute to the destruction of neurons. In mice, the treatment preserved roughly 40% more tissue…
Neuroscientists reveal that involuntary, uncontrollable laughter engages primitive, ancestral brain networks shared with other mammals, releasing opioids and endorphins while bypassing conscious ...
A new study reveals HSV-1 cold sore virus reprograms microglial immune cells, shutting down brain maintenance and mirroring Alzheimer's inflammation.
A 6-month study of 1,035 adults reveals four distinct trauma trajectories, showing symptom tracking predicts PTSD far better than single mental health checks.
