The human brain is often described as one of the most complex structures in biology, and much of its power comes from how it's organized. Its outer layer, the cerebral cortex, is not one uniform sheet ...
A study from Lund University in Sweden reports that a large share of dementia cases may be tied to risk factors people can potentially change, such as smoking and high blood pressure. Using brain ...
Overall, individuals engaging in higher levels of leisure-time physical activity had a 24% lower risk of dementia compared with the least active participants ...
Almost three years into his tenure as Lundbeck’s CEO, Charl van Zyl is confident the company can prove its mettle as a “neuroscience challenger” capable of “punching above its weight.” This newfound ...
Moving your body is generally good for your health, but new research suggests that all physical activity may not have the same relationship with the aging brain. A huge analysis found that exercise ...
A person who spends eight hours lifting, carrying and standing at work may move far more than someone who sits at a desk all day. It would seem logical that the more active worker should receive ...
The relative brain size of two dog ancestry groups did not differ significantly, yet MRI scans found a different distribution of gray matter. The findings suggest that regional anatomy, rather than ...
Online brain rot leaves us feeling sad and scattered and yet we often struggle to resist it. A new study explains why.
Ozempic may work in the brain in almost the opposite way scientists expected, activating hunger-linked neurons that appear essential for sustaining fat loss. The surprising discovery in mice could reveal new targets for…
In frontotemporal dementia, degeneration of neurons in the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain leads to impairments in behavior, speech and movement. However, it has become evident that other ...
Women using estrogen-only HT had 39% lower odds of dementia—and researchers found encouraging signs in the brain, too.
An Australian research collaboration has identified several existing TGA-approved medicines that could help slow brain damage in children with a rare form of dementia—offering hope for faster ...
There is no cure for dementia, and as the condition progresses, the patient may not be able to recognize loved ones.
A long-term study found people without hypertension, diabetes or smoking lived nearly 13 more years without dementia compared with those with all three risk factors.
Leisure-time exercise may lower dementia risk, while physical activity at work may not provide the same brain health benefits.
Alzamend Neuro, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALZN) ("Alzamend"), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on developing novel products for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease ("Alzheimer's"), bipolar ...
Could estrogen use in older women be connected with a healthier brain? A study of more than 21,000 women found that those who had used estrogen-only hormone therapy later in life had fewer signs of ...
Types of dementia like Alzheimer's disease have long been linked to a buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles in the brain. These are both proteins that have been compared to the "trigger and ...
Researchers have developed a new way to turn ordinary antibodies into tiny disease-fighting molecules that can work inside human cells, potentially opening new paths for treating Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s…
Leisure-time exercise like walking, cycling, running, swimming or playing sports is associated with a much lower risk of dementia, researchers report in the September issue of The Lancet Public Health ...
Cancer neuroscience reveals a bidirectional relationship in which neural circuits, neurotransmitters, neurotrophic factors, and immune signaling can shape tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis.
Brain-predicted age difference (brain-PAD) is a robust, reproducible predictor of dementia progression across two independent estimation methods, and it is most clinically useful in subjective ...
In the MRI scans, the gap between eyes-open and eyes-closed activity shrank by 85% in the visual network, and by more than 66% across all brain networks. In the EEG recordings, the difference in a ...
Research using human brain organoids onboard the International Space Station helped lead to a clinical trial of a potential therapy for Rett syndrome, a debilitating neurological disorder in children.
Scientists discovered physically strenuous labor may not offer the same brain protection as exercising for leisure.
A research team in Basel is one step closer to unraveling the mystery of fatigue: It has identified the brain cells in mice that actively trigger and control the urge to sleep.
The active ingredient in “magic mushrooms” doesn’t just mess with the brain. Psilocybin, as it’s called, focuses brain activity more intently on what is happening in the moment, as a new study ...
Memory clinics still rely on visual rating scales to assess brain atrophy, yet these tools lack the sensitivity to catch subtle changes associated with early dementia. A measure of how old a person's ...
The research, published in the journal NeuroImage, found that watching preferred short videos may temporarily suppress activity in parts of the brain involved in cognitive control.
Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) drew attention after new neuroscience deals and metabolic momentum reshaped how the healthcare market read its pipeline and operations.
