How we sleep may have lasting impacts for our brain health as we age. A new University of Arizona study has found that several common sleep behaviors may be linked to signs of brain aging. The study used existing brain scans and questionnaire responses from more than 23,000 middle-aged and older adults from a large […]

A new study suggests that subtle changes in the brain’s immune cells could help explain why some people remain mentally sharp despite Alzheimer’s pathology. For decades, Alzheimer’s research has focused on the buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles, the two hallmark features of the disease. Yet a puzzling reality has continued to challenge scientists: [...]

Cambridge researchers used lab-grown human brain and spinal cord tissues to uncover a hidden mechanism that blocks nerve repair. By reversing that biological brake, they restored the ability of damaged nerve fibers to regrow. Scientists at the University of Cambridge have created miniature brain and spinal cord circuits in the lab that mimic the neural [...]
Scientists have uncovered an early brain mechanism that may help explain why people carrying the APOE4 gene face a higher risk of Alzheimer’s disease. For millions of people who carry the APOE4 gene, the strongest known genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease, changes in brain activity may start years before memory problems become noticeable. Researchers [...]
A new study challenges the long-held idea that habits form only through slow, gradual repetition. What if your habits don’t form through countless repetitions over months or years? What if the brain can decide, almost instantly, that a behavior is no longer worth thinking about? That possibility is at the center of a new Johns [...]
Brain scans suggest long COVID’s biggest clues may lie in the brain’s emotion centers, not widespread inflammation. A new brain imaging study suggests that persistent symptoms of long COVID may not be driven by ongoing brain inflammation, as many researchers have suspected. Scientists in Finland used advanced imaging techniques to examine the brains of people [...]
Researchers have developed a urine-based screening tool that may help identify individuals who are most likely to be diagnosed with autism later in life, opening the door to assessment and support networks.

Researchers suggest that old psychoanalytic ideas and modern brain science may be describing the same mental processes from different angles. More than a century after Sigmund Freud developed his influential theories of the mind, some researchers believe modern neuroscience may be arriving at surprisingly similar conclusions. A new paper published in the neurocognitive journal Entropy [...]

Loneliness may affect memory in older adults, but it does not appear to make mental decline happen faster over time. That is the conclusion of a major European study that followed more than 10,000 people over seven years. Researchers found that participants who reported feeling lonelier scored worse on memory tests at the beginning of [...]
A new study shows oral GLP-1 drugs suppress hedonic eating through a deep-brain reward circuit linked to dopamine release, potentially extending their use beyond weight loss. Why do GLP-1 weight-loss drugs seem to quiet cravings in ways that go beyond simple appetite suppression? A new NIH-funded study suggests the answer may lie deep within the [...]
One of the biggest mysteries in neuroscience is why women account for nearly two-thirds of Alzheimer’s disease cases. Now, we may be a step closer to understanding this phenomenon, with new findings that highlight an overlooked part of the brain that appears to fail as estrogen levels fall with age.

A new study reveals that the brain may handle voluntary and forced decisions using remarkably similar neural mechanisms. Picture yourself standing in line at a bakery, trying to choose between a doughnut and a tart. After thinking it over, you decide on the doughnut. But when you finally reach the counter, the doughnuts are gone, [...]

Laughter is the best medicine, according to an old adage. Now, new research suggests it also boosts child development. Making children laugh can help make their brains more resilient and open to learning, according to scientists. Laughter builds deep emotional connections and soothes youngsters’ nervous systems, making them more resilient—because laughter is not frivolous, but […]

Many of us probably don't get much time to put pen to paper these days, with our world of correspondence now dominated by digital communication. But a new study from Portugal's University of Évora suggests that changes in handwriting could be an early red flag of serious age-related cognitive decline.

Researchers have identified a vitamin B12–based compound that appears capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier and selectively accumulating in glioblastoma tissue. For decades, one of the biggest problems in brain cancer treatment has had little to do with killing cancer cells and everything to do with reaching them. The brain’s protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks [...]
Scientists have identified new ways lithium chloride may interact with Alzheimer’s disease mechanisms at the cellular level. A new study from the University of Eastern Finland (UEF) suggests lithium chloride may influence several cellular processes linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common type of dementia. One of its key features is [...]
Body weight may play a larger role in brain aging than previously understood. A number on the scale may say more about future brain health than previously recognized. New research from the University of Georgia suggests that higher body mass index, or BMI, may be linked to faster cognitive decline in older adults. The finding [...]

What if the biggest threat to brain health is not how long we sit, but what we do while sitting? New research suggests that mentally passive activities, such as prolonged TV [...]
