          Middle Age Sexual Satisfaction: A Potential Early Sign of Cognitive Decline

          Researchers found lower sexual satisfaction in middle age may be a warning sign of future cognitive decline. The study examined associations between erectile function, sexual satisfaction, and cognition in hundreds of middle-aged men, discovering a correlation between declines in sexual satisfaction and future memory loss. This study tracks sexual satisfaction, sexual health, and cognition over time, revealing a novel potential risk factor for cognitive decline. While the causality remains uncertain, this relationship suggests that improving sexual satisfaction might positively affect memory function.Researchers found lower sexual satisfaction in middle age may be a warning sign of future cognitive decline.

          Accelerated Aging: Study Turns Young Mice Old in a Matter of Weeks

          Researchers inhibited somatostatin interneurons in a subregion of the hippocampus, inducing aging-related cellular and behavioral changes. This study establishes a causal link between reduced interneuron function and cognitive decline, offering a new model for studying age-related cognitive disorders.

          Brain Drain: Common Infections Tied to Cognitive Decline

          CCommon infections, including the chickenpox virus and herpes simplex virus type 1, can worsen cognitive performance and increase the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in middle-aged and older adults, a new study reports. The findings add to the growing body of evidence linking common infections to poor brain health associated with aging.

          Cognitive Decline May Be Triggered by Astrocyte Dysfunction

          A new study reveals astrocyte dysfunction may be a driver of cognitive decline and memory loss in those with dementia. This may be caused by a protein build-up in the astrocytes that appears to trigger abnormal antiviral activity that results in memory loss.

          NFL Players Who Experienced Concussion Symptoms During Careers Show Reduced Cognitive Performance Decades After Retirement

          Retired football players who experienced concussions during their careers performed worse on cognitive tests than non-players. The findings add to the growing body of evidence that suggests head injuries experienced by football players accelerate cognitive aging. Researchers say the results underlie the importance of tracking concussion symptoms in football players as opposed to concussion diagnosis.
