Past studies in animals have shown that a highly processed diet is linked to memory problems and inflammation in the aged brain – and the effect can happen fast, after just three days of poor eating.

A newly identified protein may hold the key to rejuvenating aging brain cells. Researchers found that boosting DMTF1 can ...

Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the brain is not static; neurons continually adjust the strength of their ...

Two separate studies have identified age-related molecular changes in the brain and adjusted them to improve memory. New research from Virginia Tech (VA, USA) shows that memory loss is tied to ...

Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have ...

Many assume that memory loss and cognitive decline are an inevitable part of aging — but new research suggests that doesn’t have to be the case. A 25-year study from Northwestern University analyzed ...

An international research team has uncovered new insights into healthy brain aging. The researchers found that aging leads to the accumulation of defective energy molecules in the brains of aged mice, ...

William James, the father of American Psychology, famously speculated that when a newborn child has her first sensory experience with the world outside of her mother’s womb, it must be “a great ...

Most people's brains get smaller as they age. It is not so much that neurons die, but that their terminals and synaptic junctions shrivel. A known cause is the over-secretion of cortisol by stress, ...
