Attention Failures May Predict Dementia Better Than Memory

A new study argues that attention impairment, not memory loss, should be the central focus for early dementia diagnosis. The research highlights how "attentional overload" impacts daily life and suggests new ways to improve care.

Stroke Survivors’ Brains Rejuvenate to Compensate for Injury

Can a stroke make part of your brain younger? New research using deep learning reveals that undamaged brain regions reorganize and show "youthful" structural patterns to compensate for severe stroke damage.

Mentally Active Leisure Protects Against Dementia

A 19-year study reveals that mentally active sitting—such as reading or working—can reduce dementia risk, while passive sitting like watching TV increases it. Researchers suggest "swapping" passive habits for active ones to protect long-term brain health.

Depression and Gut Issues Linked to Future PSP

A new study identified five key risk factors for Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), including depression 10 years pre-diagnosis. The findings suggest the disease develops silently for a decade before motor symptoms appear.
