Neurons can counteract degeneration and promote survival by adapting their metabolism. Read More
Two new studies from USC reveal the implications of air pollution on brain development and neurological health in children and older women. Read More
Restoring HDAC1 could have potential benefits for those suffering from Alzheimer's disease and people with age-related cognitive decline. Read More
Activating group 2 innate lymphoid cells in aging brains helps improve memory in mice. The findings could help in the development of treatments for neurodegenerative diseases associated with aging. Read More
A newly developed eye movement measurement test sheds light on inhibitory control and brain aging. Read More
Amyloid accumulation occurs faster in those who have objectively-defined cognitive difficulties than older people who are considered to be cognitively normal. Mild cognitive impairment is also associated with faster hippocampal and entorhinal cortex atrophy. Read More
Fruit flies exposed to blue light had significantly reduced longevity than those exposed to natural light or kept in darkness. Exposure to blue light for 12 hours a day accelerated aging phenotypes, causing retinal damage, neurodegeneration, and impaired locomotion. Read More
Neurodegeneration sets in earlier for those with unhealthy diets and lifestyle choices. Read More
Blocking VCAM1 increased neurogenesis, and reduced microglia reactivity in the hippocampus of older mice. Read More
New patterns of brain ageing across the human lifespan have been revealed by researchers analysing microstructural changes in the brain’s white matter. Read More
Schwann cells help protect nerves against blood clotting factors that cause degeneration, researchers report. Read More
Researchers say a new retinal imaging test could be a reliable tool for measuring the progression of neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's. The study reports the tool can detect drusen, which is often higher in those with AD. Read More
