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

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: ...

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 ...

Taking lipoic acid failed to ease progressive MS symptoms in a clinical trial, but the antioxidant showed signs of slowing ...

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).

Anti-amyloid therapies for Alzheimer's disease accelerated brain atrophy, a systematic review and meta-analysis of MRI data showed. Across 31 clinical trials, brain volume changes were seen for ...

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 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 ...

I’ve been writing about the brain benefits of physical activity and cardiorespiratory fitness for over a decade. Every week, it seems there is new research that helps us better understand why exercise ...
