Dementia, a progressive loss of memory and decline in mental function that can be caused by various neurological conditions, is estimated to affect more than 57 million people worldwide. Identifying specific biological…
New research suggests that limiting meals to an eight-hour window may do more than support weight loss—it could also improve memory, learning, and long-term brain health.
"SuperAgers" keep razor-sharp memories past 80, but a new study shows this is not just down to good genes.
Scientists have long worked to understand whether these so-called "SuperAgers" simply won the genetic lottery by inheriting little risk for Alzheimer's disease, or if their impressive cognition is ...
New genetic risk factors have been identified for fibromyalgia syndrome in a landmark study that involved scientists at King's College London. The study, published in Nature Medicine, highlights how the nervous system…
Six simple summer habits to protect your brain health, according to experts - Looking after your brain and strengthening your cognitive muscle can have a lasting impact on your overall wellbeing, both ...
Dementia and Alzheimer’s are neurodegenerative conditions that are prevalent worldwide. Strategies like avoiding certain things before bedtime can reduce our risk of developing them.
The ICML is globally renowned as one of the ‘Big Three’ machine learning conferences alongside NeurIPS (the annual conference ...

Heavy TV viewers had smaller brain volumes and white matter damage tied to cognitive decline.
(NewsNation) — Regularly spending hours in front of the TV could have lasting effects on brain health, according to new ...
Strength training, a healthy diet and social engagement can help support healthier aging, the study's co-author told Newsweek.
In a significant step towards the future of education, IQED Learning System has unveiled an Artificial Intelligence-powered learning platform that combines cutting-edge AI, neuroscience, and cognitive ...
For decades, Alzheimer’s disease has been detected far too late. By the time memory and thinking problems disrupt daily life ...
The big takeaway from the recent Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London is an economic message: Dementia finally has a business model, writes Jason Karlawish.
Researchers uncover 10 ways diabetes may raise dementia risk, revealing how blood sugar can quietly affect brain health.
Astrocytes undergo phenotypic changes with aging, contributing to neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive impairments in later life. The temporoammonic (TA) pathway terminates at the stratum lacunosum-moleculare (SLM)…
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a devastating autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder characterized by progressive degeneration of lower motor neurons, leading to muscle weakness and atrophy predominantly manifesting…
BackgroundBrain-computer interfaces (BCIs) based on electroencephalography (EEG) signals have been applied to improve active hand motor function rehabilitation of stroke patients. Besides, the bilateral arm…
The ability to acquire and adjust a sensorimotor skill relies on coordinated activity within a cortico–basal ganglia–thalamo–cortical loop, yet the underlying inter-areal dynamics remain unclear. The zebra finch…
Sleep staging is important for diagnosing and managing sleep disorders. However, artificial intelligence-based models still struggle with explainability, sequence plausibility, and personalization across subjects. We…
Following cerebral ischemia, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) expressed by Iba-1⁺ microglia may support neuronal survival and plasticity, yet the micro-environmental cues that drive this phenotype remain largely…
Dual-task walking is essential for community ambulation after stroke, yet its quantitative evaluation using variability-based metrics remains underexplored. To determine the test-retest reliability of gait variability…
Whether fatigue during walking increases the risk of falling is relevant, particularly for older adults. If fatigue leads to gait alterations that increase the risk of falling—and these changes develop faster than…
Early and accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is crucial for timely intervention. However, single-modal structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) has limited discriminative ability, and existing multi-modal…
