Your brain holds an extraordinary secret that could change how you age mentally. Scientists have discovered that a specific type of exercise doesn’t just keep your mind sharp—it actually reverses ...

The brain floats in a sea of fluid that cushions it against injury, supplies it with nutrients and carries away waste. Disruptions to the normal ebb and flow of the fluid have been linked to ...

New noninvasive tools reveal that subtle shifts in brain blood flow and oxygen use may mirror key markers of Alzheimer’s risk.

A major international study has uncovered a new biological clue that could help predict dementia long before memory problems arise. Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Zhejiang University ...

A new study suggests that dementia may be driven in part by faulty blood flow in the brain. Researchers found that losing a key lipid causes blood vessels to become overactive, disrupting circulation ...

Subtle changes in how blood flows through the brain and how brain tissue uses oxygen may be closely linked to Alzheimer’s disease risk, according to new research from the Mark and Mary Stevens ...

A commonly held view is that when brain cells die, it is an irreversible, final state. Within less than 40 seconds of oxygen deprivation, the human brain’s interneuronal activity ceases and becomes ...

Measuring blood flow in the brain is critical for understanding response to a range of neurological problems, including stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI) and vascular dementia. Obtaining such ...

Dementia has long been framed as a slow, irreversible loss of neurons, but a new line of research is shifting attention to the blood vessels that feed the brain. Scientists are now testing whether ...
