          Loneliness in Elderly Tied to Brain Volume Reduction

          A new study finds a link between social isolation in older adults and decreased brain volume, particularly in areas affected by dementia. Conducted on nearly 9,000 participants without dementia, the research found that those with the least social contact had significantly lower overall brain volume compared to those with more social interactions.

          A Power Nap a Day May Keep Brain Aging at Bay

          Habitual daytime napping could help preserve brain health and slow down the brain shrinkage that comes with aging. Using Mendelian randomisation and examining DNA snippets, researchers linked napping to larger total brain volume, a known indicator of brain health and dementia risk reduction.

          Spending Time on Household Chores May Improve Brain Health

          Spending time performing household chores may help to improve brain health, especially for older adults. Researchers found older adults who spent more time engaging in housework had greater brain volume, specifically in the frontal lobe and hippocampus, brain areas associated with memory and cognition.
