The connection between obesity and Alzheimer’s isn’t new. What researchers tracked over five years reveals why that connection deserves more urgency — and why one reassuring test may not tell the whole story.

For thousands of years, Traditional Chinese Medicine has praised one herb for supporting circulation and brain health. Now research is stacking up that this ancient herb could be the difference between losing or keeping cognitive abilities after a stroke.

Stress doesn’t always end when your day does. Its biological effects can reach areas of the brain involved in memory and thinking. And, oddly enough, show up in our saliva to offer an overlooked clue about brain aging.

ADHD isn’t something everyone simply outgrows. Now a massive review suggests an overlooked part of the body may be affected far more often than patients and doctors realize. This time, the “gut feeling” is backed by data.

Selenium plays a role in many bodily processes, including reproduction, thyroid function, and protecting the body from free radicals and infection. But what it can do to slow brain aging got our attention, even in the event of stroke…

Poor sleep and memory changes often show up together. New research suggests one familiar vitamin may matter more than expected during this early window of cognitive change — but the dose linked to the strongest result may surprise you.

Researchers restored a fundamental process inside severely damaged brains, and what happened next challenged assumptions about how permanent Alzheimer’s damage may be. The finding points toward an overlooked piece of the puzzle.

Something starts changing in your brain’s memory center around 50. Scientists have uncovered a shift that may help explain why the aging brain becomes more vulnerable, and what steps we can take to protect it.

Three common midlife health risks may quietly chip away at your dementia-free years. Research suggests the difference could add up to nearly 13 years — and the good news is, these are risks you can do something about…

Exercise is great for the brain. And if your exercise game includes bodybuilding, you may have an edge over the rest of us: halting the progression of Alzheimer’s. But if weight training is off the table for you, there’s an easier way…

While sleeping, your brain switches on a powerful anti-aging hormone that helps preserve muscle and bone, reduce fat and support a healthier metabolism. Scientists have uncovered the brain circuit behind it, and how to help keep it working as you age.
