A new study involving 1,200 men reveals why male victims of intimate partner violence avoid seeking help, citing shame, stigma, and cultural barriers.
Taxi and ambulance drivers have the lowest risk of dying from Alzheimer's among 443 occupations studied. Continuous real-time ...
Military leaders frequently underestimate how big the wars they engage in will get. Gen. Douglas MacArthur predicted U.S. troops could come home from the Korean War in time for Christmas, just months after the conflict…
Use of hormone therapy later in life was associated with lower risk of developing dementia, according to a study published August ...
Research from scientists at the University of California San Diego School of Medicine and collaborators has shed new light on how the human brain coordinates working memory, the process in which the brain encodes…
From dancing to traveling to bi-annual dental visits, experts share the simple habits that can cut your cognitive risk starting in your 20s and 30s.
New research suggests that avoiding high blood pressure, diabetes and smoking in middle age could help keep dementia at bay. A team from NYU Langone Health in the US assessed 12,409 people who were ...

An accelerated pace of biological aging may predict decreased brain volume, cognitive decline, and incident dementia among older adults.
After an Alzheimer’s diagnosis, your focus may shift quickly to treatments, appointments, and planning for the future.
Supportive therapies, such as occupational therapy or music therapy, can help you manage Alzheimer’s symptoms and improve your quality of life.
Dementia cases are expected to double by 2060 with an aging population. Experts agree that processed meats–specifically bacon–may increase your risk of dementia. Following a balanced diet, ...
We often think of exercise as something that keeps the heart, muscles and bones healthy. But growing research suggests that its ...
From skin cells to brain tissue, scientists are pushing organoids from medical research towards biological computing. The bigger question is what happens if and when these tiny brains become more soph ...
