Neuroscientists at the University of Cambridge have identified five "major epochs" of brain structure over the course of a human life, as our brains rewire to support different ways of thinking while ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have found that a novel blood-based biomarker can predict a woman's risk of developing dementia as many as 25 years before symptoms appear.

Studying the minds of octogenarians with surprising cognitive resilience shows how it's possible to maintain a youthful brain well into old age.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have found that a novel blood-based biomarker can predict a woman’s risk of developing dementia as many as 25 years before symptoms appear. The ...

In a recent study published in Nature, scientists found that elderly adults known as “super-agers” had about twice as many newly formed neurons in their hippocampi—the brain ...

The brains of superagers -- adults over age 80 with extraordinary memory capacity -- were strong producers of new neurons, showing a distinct profile of hippocampal neurogenesis in a post-mortem study ...

People who reported “always” listening to music saw dementia risk plummet by 39% compared to those who rarely or never tuned in. They also had a 17% lower risk of Cognitive Impairment No Dementia ...
