Intelligence, education and participating in cognitively challenging tasks may stave off the effects of dementia for longer, but can not protect against the inevitable Alzheimer's pathology in those at risk.
A new study considers how thoughts take shape in the brain.
Researchers have developed a new method of assessing intelligence and personality by using EEG technology that recorded brain waves during simple cognitive tasks.

Despite having much smaller brains, researchers have discovered ravens are just as clever as chimpanzees.
According to a new Journal of Alzheimer's Disease study, common genetic variants in amyloid precursor protein are associated with fluid intelligence in children.
