Scientists link a rising brain protein to memory decline and show it can be reversed in mice, offering a new target for ...

New research shows that sleep loss alters specific memory circuits, but also hints that a familiar compound may help restore ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

We become forgetful as we age. This is often seen as a universal truth, but in fact it is far from universal: some people remain incredibly sharp at 100 years old, while others experience memory loss ...

Stress is the brain’s natural response to fear, but it often disrupts memory in the process, potentially impacting the possibility of memory loss. When preparing for a big presentation or taking a ...

Memory complaints can make any headline sound urgent. Choline deserves attention, but it also deserves restraint. It is a real nutrient with clear biological roles. It is not a miracle discovery from ...

Neuroinflammation, a prolonged activation of the brain's immune system prompted by infections or other factors, has been linked to the disruption of normal mental functions. Past studies, for instance ...

Memory loss and aging go hand-in-hand for most of us, but scientists are getting closer to understanding why. A new study, conducted by researchers at the Arc Institute in Palo Alto, California, and ...

Harvard Medical School researchers studying mice and human tissues have found a link between lithium (Li) deficiency in the brain and the development of Alzheimer’s disease. Headed by Bruce Yankner, ...

Your brain needs sound to stay sharp. Without it, cognitive function begins to slip—often in ways you won't notice until the damage is done.

Boston University professor and neuroscientist Steve Ramirez promoted his new book, which dives into his experiences with grief after the death of his research partner and explores the science of ...

In this figure, an intestinal immune cell detects medium-chain fatty acids produced by aging gut bacteria through the GPR84 receptor, releasing inflammatory molecules that block signaling along the ...
