Your brain doesn't have to age on autopilot. New research shows we can slow—and potentially reverse—brain aging.

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham has identified a unique brain network that links varied patterns of brain atrophy, or shrinkage, associated with schizophrenia. By combining ...

Anti-amyloid-beta (anti-Aβ) drugs, which are used in the management of Alzheimer's disease (AD), have the potential to compromise long-term brain health by accelerating brain atrophy, a comprehensive ...

A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cognito Therapeutics, a neurotechnology company advancing disease-modifying therapies to treat CNS diseases, today announced robust lobe-specific changes in white ...

New research reveals that air pollution, especially PM2.5, may contribute to cerebral atrophy but does not seem to impair cognitive function. Urbanization affects the strength of this link. Study: ...

We can replace joints, lenses, even organs—but not the brain. As neuroscience unravels the mechanisms of neurodegeneration, ...

There is a strong link between regular physical exercise and good brain health, according to one study. Researchers found ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).

The brain is about 75% water, so it is very sensitive to changes in hydration. When a person does not drink enough water, the ...

Recent research and expert analysis suggest that generative AI, like ChatGPT, may be quietly eroding our cognitive muscles ...

Frequency of social contact was tied to brain volume in cognitively normal older adults, a cross-sectional study in Japan showed. Total brain volume was smaller in people who had the lowest frequency ...
