Engaging in specific computer-based cognitive speed training for a few weeks may significantly reduce the risk of dementia diagnosis even decades later.
A newly published meta-analysis reveals that playing active video games can significantly improve memory and executive function in older adults with mild cognitive impairment, offering a fun and promising tool for dementia prevention.
A groundbreaking 2025 study reveals that brain aging isn't a slow, steady decline; instead, human brains undergo a rapid, metabolic 'critical window' in our 40s and 50s. Excitingly, alternative fuels like ketones could offer a profound way to protect our cognitive health.
The 2024 Lancet Commission report reveals that by addressing 14 modifiable lifestyle factors, including two newly identified risks like vision loss and high LDL cholesterol, we could potentially prevent or delay 45% of all dementia cases globally.
A fascinating study reveals that older adults who navigate using environmental landmarks—rather than just memorizing a sequence of left and right turns—have a healthier, more robust hippocampus, potentially protecting against cognitive decline.
