Brain decline begins during our 30s and 40s, and not at age 25 as previously believed, researchers say.
The ability to dual-task walk and talk begins to decline around the age of 55. This decline is a result of changes to cognition and underlying brain function rather than due to physical changes associated with aging.
At any age, regular exercise or physical activity helps to maintain brain function during old age. However, maintaining a frequent workout schedule throughout life was linked to better mental acuity, memory, and cognition later in life.
Study sheds new light on the link between brain inflammation and cognitive impairment associated with aging. Findings suggest the connection may be the result of a cellular chain reaction.
Advanced brain aging may explain why, on average, people with schizophrenia have a significantly reduced life span.
Deep learning technology can accurately reflect a person's risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease based on brain age.
Gene usage in the brains of those who suffered severe COVID-19 infections was similar to that observed in the aging brain. Researchers say COVID-19 is associated with molecular signatures of brain aging.
Using artificial neural networks to analyze neuroimaging data, researchers are able to accurately determine biological age.
Worse cardiovascular health at age 36 can predict a higher brain age and associated cognitive problems later in life.
The effects of COVID-19 infection on neurological health are becoming more apparent. A new study reveals COVID-19 can predispose people to irreversible neurological conditions, accelerate brain aging, and increase the risk of stroke and brain bleeds.
Singing in a social group such as a choir may help protect cognitive function and treat aphasia in older adults.
Brain aging is accelerated by up to 26% in those with progressive type 2 diabetes.
