A protein reinforces the blood–brain barrier, which becomes leaky with age. Exercise prevents brain ageing and memory loss by strengthening the blood–brain barrier, the structure that keeps harmful ...

SuperAgers” with superb memories in their 80s and 90s produce more new brain cells than people some 50 years younger, ...

A neuroimaging study from NYU shows that the same type of brain training found to reduce dementia risk in the recent ACTIVE Study can also repair white matter damaged by brain injury. The brain ...

The results showed that expert bird-watchers had structural brain differences compared with novices, regardless of age. The experts had better recognition and task performance skills, according to the ...

Scientists find specific games that may boost brain health, improve Alzheimer’s disease and dementia risk.

Expert birdwatchers have changes in their brain structure compared with novices, which probably help them better identify birds and may even protect against age-related cognitive decline ...

In a small lab at the University of California, Santa Cruz, clusters of mouse brain cells have taken on a task normally reserved for computer algorithms: ...

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

A UCSF team finds a liver protein, released with exercise, that improves memory in aging and Alzheimer’s disease by repairing ...

A study in the Alzheimer's Association research journal found that simple brain speed exercises were linked to lowering the risk of dementia by 26% at a 20-year follow-up.

Patients with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) who complete computerized cognitive games show improved neuroplasticity and ...
