Research reveals three critical midlife health measures, between ages 45-65, that could delay dementia onset by up to 13 years through improved cardiovascular health.
A new study shows modern human PSPH gene variants produce L-serine more efficiently than ancient hunter-gatherer versions, revealing how brain biochemistry evolved over time.
A study of over 170 PTSD patients finds that evening doses of dronabinol (THC) significantly reduce trauma-related nightmares, with over a third achieving complete remission.
Dementia remains Australia's leading cause of death, with new AIHW figures showing almost 1.1 million Australians could be living with the condition by 2066.
The brain's immune system has long been thought to exist independently from the rest of the body, complete with its own specialized immune cells and a blood-brain barrier that limits what can travel ...
Disarticulated bones found scattered across a luxurious Roman villa on England's Isle of Wight may be evidence of a massacre carried out during a brutal political purge in the fourth century, a new study in Britannia…
IBD increases psychiatric disorder risk starting three years before diagnosis and lasting up to a decade post-diagnosis.
Deep brain stimulation on living human temporal cortex tissue synchronizes neural firing and triggers distinct gene expression programs in neurons and astrocytes.
Brain motivation: Researchers identified orexin neurons as key to sustained motivation during demanding tasks. These brain cells help maintain goal-directed behavior when increased effort is required.
New research from Rutgers University–Newark psychologist Kent Harber reveals a strong connection between conspiracy theories, antisemitic attitudes and hostility toward Israel.
Neurons that once encoded a person's memories are now helping researchers identify genetic targets that may one day help preserve memory and slow cognitive decline in others.
Those who had none of the risk factors in the study lived without developing dementia nearly 13 years longer than those who had all three ...
A new study suggests that avoiding three things in middle age may be associated with 13 more years without dementia ...
When it comes to medical imaging, a chatbot doesn't know its backside from its elbow. Or, at least, it can't tell a spine from a knee. But if a Boston University research team is successful, a smarter AI system for…
Avoiding three things in middle age is linked to 13 more years without dementia, experts have said. Having normal blood pressure, no diabetes and not smoking from age 45 to 65 keeps dementia at bay ...
Maintaining normal blood pressure, avoiding diabetes, and not smoking in midlife adds nearly 13 dementia-free years.
Alzheimer's disease has traditionally been studied as a condition that primarily affects the brain's gray matter, where neuronal cell bodies are located and some of the disease's most characteristic lesions accumulate…
How you manage three health factors may affect your risk of developing dementia sooner rather than later, a new study has found.
Three midlife factors could delay the onset of dementia by more than a decade, a new study has found.
Dementia can be delayed for 13 years by avoiding three major risk factors in midlife, scientists have said. Those with diabetes, high blood pressure and who smoked between the ages of 45 and 65 ...
It's not clear exactly how dementia gets started or might be stopped, but we do know that there are many different risk factors for the condition, ranging from hearing impairments to breathing ...
A study involving 12,000 adults in the US suggests that taking action to prevent dementia during your 50s can make a big difference later in life ...
Look at a group of kids, and you're going to see many different shapes and sizes.
Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological condition characterized by disruptions in the regulation of sleep-wake cycles. People with this condition often experience extreme sleepiness during the day and, in some cases, a…
A new study recommends people actively avert certain factors in midlife ‘as a strategy for preserving brain health’ ...
In the late 1990s, Malaysia created a new way for corporations to raise money by issuing bonds that comply with Islamic law, which prohibits the payment or collection of interest.
Cells in the brain communicate in different ways. The classical mode involves tight connections between individual cells that signal only to each other. But over the last decade, new tools have ...
When Eric Stallard, an actuary and academic, began looking into the incidence of dementia among elderly Americans, he was so stunned by his findings that he held off publishing his first paper on the ...
Certain variants in the PSPH gene, which encodes an enzyme called phosphoserine phosphatase, prevent the body from making sufficient amounts of the amino acid L-serine, leading to a range of nervous system problems. New…
Recursion, Roche, and its Genentech subsidiary have announced plans to co-develop a neuroscience discovery program based on the first validated target discovered through an AI map they created to find ...
