Researchers at Texas A&M have developed a nasal spray that appears to reverse brain aging by calming inflammation and restoring the brain’s energy systems.…

A newly identified protein called GPNMB may play a major role in helping Parkinson’s disease spread through the brain. Researchers discovered that immune cells release the protein in response to damaged neurons, creating a vicious cycle that speeds up…

A huge long-term study found that drinking two to three cups of coffee a day was linked to a much lower risk of dementia, especially before age 75.…

The drug is likely to remain out of reach for most, with the current cost standing at R 91,688 for a single vial.

MIT neuroscientists have uncovered a surprising secret hidden in the adult brain: millions of “silent synapses,” dormant connections that lie in wait until new learning calls them into action.…

Families with rare gene mutations that cause Alzheimer's in middle age are giving scientists a unique window on the disease, and a quick way to test potential treatments.

Loneliness may quietly affect how well older adults remember things—but it might not be speeding up mental decline after all. A large European study tracking over 10,000 people for seven years found that those who felt lonelier started off with weaker…

Scientists are exploring a new way to harness the medical promise of psychedelic compounds without the mind-bending side effects. Researchers created modified versions of psilocin — the active form of psilocybin from “magic mushrooms” — that still target…

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a super-ager to stay sharp.
