A high-fat, low-carb ketogenic diet may protect the brain from early Alzheimer’s disease changes in people genetically at risk, new research in mouse models of Alzheimer’s suggests, by rebalancing gut bacteria and restoring brain energy metabolism.

Researchers uncover why mental maps fade with age: comparing young, middle-aged and old mice, the researchers found activity in the medial entorhinal cortex (“the GPS of the brain”) becomes less stable and less attuned to the environment in elderly animals

Fever protects against memory decline

Mediterranean diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and healthy fats, is associated with a lower risk of dementia, especially among those with two copies of APOE4 gene

New study finds musicians experience pain differently than non musicians, as motor maps of musicians, which were already smaller in pain-free conditions (day 1) compared to nonmusicians (P = 0.021)…

Adults over 65 whose weight decreases by more than 5% may experience faster cognitive decline

ADHD brains really are built differently – we've just been blinded by the noise

Scientists have confirmed they can reliably distinguish patients with psychiatric disorders from healthy individuals based on nothing more than a blood sample.

Past research found that men were as likely as women to be woken by wailing infants

My blue is your blue: different people's brains process colours in the same way

Reducing glutamate made by microglia alleviated chronic stress–linked social avoidance, anxiety, and memory impairment in mice

Cognitive ability becomes increasingly stable after age 3, study finds

A new study has found that dual n-back training improved verbal working memory in people with ADHD — a measure closely linked to IQ test performance.

Adverse social exposome (low education, food insecurity, financial stress, etc) linked to poorer cognition and mental health, reduced functional ability…

A study shows that antidepressant fluoxetine does more than boost serotonin levels: it changes how brain cells manage their energy and rebuild their connections, potentially helping the brain “loosen up” and adapt during depression treatment
