New research shows how rhythmic brain waves help us distinguish between our own body and the external world, offering insights into how the brain integrates sensory signals.

Somatostatin-expressing neurons follow a surprising set of rules that create the conditions for brain circuit optimization.

Using brain scans from nearly 6,000 children, researchers found that ADHD stimulants primarily alter brain networks tied to arousal, sleep, and motivation. Attention networks showed minimal change.

Researchers from University of Kentucky report that antisense inhibition of CD47 improved glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profiles in aged male mice. The treatment reduced visceral fat and enhanced brown fat and liver metabolism.

A large genetic study found that super agers over 80 are less likely to carry the Alzheimer’s risk gene APOE-ε4 and more likely to carry the protective APOE-ε2 variant. The findings highlight genetic resilience linked to exceptional cognitive aging.

Diets high in fiber, healthy unsaturated fats, carotenoids, and micronutrients have been linked to better brain health in older adults.

A McGill University study of more than 450,000 patients found that incretin-based Type 2 diabetes drugs, including GLP-1 receptor agonists and DPP-4 inhibitors, were associated with a lower risk of dementia.

New research has discovered that reducing levels of the STAUFEN-1 protein can prevent neuron death caused by DNA damage and p53 activation in neurodegenerative diseases.

A 30% calorie reduction over decades slows brain aging in monkeys by preserving microglia and oligodendrocytes, new research shows.

A team of researchers has developed one of the first fully autonomous artificial intelligence systems capable of screening for cognitive impairment using routine clinical documentation.
