In a series of experiments, researchers found that a communication pathway between the brain and the gut may be integral to how well the brain holds on to memories. The genesis for the study came ...

More than 2 in 5 adults 35 and older (44%) have a positive view of aging, and these attitudes remain largely consistent across age groups. Rather than becoming more negative with age, views about ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

Memories rarely arrive as an unbroken stream. The brain quietly divides life into segments: entering a room, starting a conversation, or watching a new scene unfold.

The simple act of crossing a road could help shield the brain from dementia and other cognitive conditions, according to new research from the Australian Catholic University and UNSW Sydney's Center ...

Age is more than just one number. While neuroscientists used to think of cognitive aging as a single trendline, they now ...

Salk researchers create epigenetic atlas of cell type-specific changes in the aging mouse brain, representing eight different brain regions and 36 different cell types to show clear epigenetic ...

You’ve likely experienced it: a day when your mind just feels a bit slow — finding the right words takes effort, processing feels sluggish, and recalling information takes longer than usual. People ...

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

Researchers create a massive single-cell atlas of the aging mouse brain, revealing how epigenetic changes and "jumping genes" drive neurodegeneration.

New research suggests childhood cancer survivors may experience accelerated biological aging from treatments, potentially ...
