Our brain function is far from static throughout our lives. We already know that our capacity to learn, and our risk of cognitive decline, varies from when we are a newborn through to our 90s. Now, ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine have discovered a natural mechanism that clears existing amyloid plaques in the brains of mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease and preserves cognitive function ...

It used to be thought that sea urchins only had a primitive nervous system, but new research has found that they are far more complex than that. The entire body of a sea urchin is what researchers are ...

Hypertension in a person's 30s and 40s is associated with late-life cognitive decline, increasing the risk of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Hypertension is associated with difficulties in ...

If you’ve been feeling unfocused, forgetful, or mentally drained, you might be experiencing brain fog—a cluster of symptoms like fatigue, confusion, and difficulty concentrating that can disrupt daily ...

A new McGill-led study reveals that digital brain exercises can rejuvenate aging brain systems responsible for learning and memory. Older adults using BrainHQ for 10 weeks showed restored cholinergic ...

A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region. Previous research has ...
