Glimmer of hope emerges in pilot trial of people with mild cognitive impairment ...

A Canadian study examines how developing expertise in the hobby strengthens cognition tied to working memory and other skills ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

Some older adults with exceptional memory grow far more new neurons in the hippocampus, while Alzheimer’s brains show almost ...

A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

Without medical oversight, supplement-takers might accidentally get too much of a certain nutrient, to the point that it ...

As we age, neuron production declines in the human brain, but scientists just identified the protein key to regenerating neural stem cells.

Expert birders show denser brain tissue in attention and visual regions, suggesting the skill may help slow certain aspects ...

Examining brain plasticity and its implications for development, aging, and brain injury recovery.

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in development than those of healthy peers, new research has found. According ...

Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease (AD) are typically diagnosed after irreversible pathology has developed. Aging, the strongest risk factor, drives molecular changes that ...
