Scientists have discovered that getting your hands dirty in the garden might be one of the best things you can do for your brain. This simple springtime activity offers surprising cognitive benefits that researchers are just beginning to understand.
Scientists at MIT identified a gene mutation that causes the brain to get stuck on outdated beliefs and successfully reversed the effect in mice. The discovery opens promising new treatment paths for cognitive symptoms in schizophrenia patients.
Researchers have identified the exact mechanism that kills brain cells responsible for memory and thinking in multiple sclerosis patients. The breakthrough discovery opens a completely new path for protecting cognitive function in people living with MS.
University of Virginia researchers used gene editing to fix the DNA mutation causing a deadly form of epilepsy, potentially opening the door to cures for inherited brain disorders. The technique eliminated seizures in lab mice and improved their movement and cognitive function.
Women in their 40s and 50s experiencing memory lapses and mental fog aren't imagining it. New research confirms perimenopause affects brain function, but experts say simple lifestyle changes can make a real difference.
Scientists discovered that targeting a specific gut bacterium reversed age-related memory loss in mice, performing as well as young animals. If the gut-brain circuit works the same way in humans, this breakthrough could lead to simple therapies that restore cognitive function.
Researchers discovered a liver protein that strengthens brain barriers and improves memory in aging mice, offering hope for those who can't exercise. The breakthrough could lead to drugs that deliver cognitive benefits without physical activity.
A groundbreaking study shows adding brexpiprazole to existing treatments helps people with schizophrenia think faster and process information better. The discovery opens new doors for treating one of the condition's most disabling symptoms that affects daily life and work.
A groundbreaking UCLA study of 7,000 women reveals that pregnancy and breastfeeding are connected to better cognitive function decades later. The findings could reshape how we approach Alzheimer's prevention for women.
New research reveals the genetic secret behind "super agers" who maintain razor-sharp minds well into their 80s. These remarkable individuals carry far fewer Alzheimer's risk genes and more protective variants than their peers.
