Scientists at the Yong Loo Lin School of Medicine, (NUS Medicine), have identified a molecular switch that helps aging brains ...

Researchers have found that a natural aging-related molecule can repair key memory processes affected by Alzheimer’s disease.

Our episodic memory – the ability to recall past events and experiences – is known to decline as we age. Exactly how and why ...

An international research team has uncovered new insights into healthy brain aging. The researchers found that aging leads to ...

The challenge is recognizing when forgetfulness is a normal part of aging and when it may signal cognitive decline. By paying attention to the type of memory lapses and their frequency, you can ...

Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

Everyone misplaces their keys occasionally or struggles to recall a name, but when does ordinary forgetfulness cross the line into something more concerning? Understanding this distinction can make a ...

Memory worries are common with aging. Learn what they mean, when they matter, and how anxiety, mood, and evidence shape cognitive concerns.

Many older adults worry about their memory and other thinking abilities. For example, they might be concerned about taking longer than before to learn new things, or they may sometimes forget to pay a ...

A study published in Science Advances led by researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois, now provides evidence that the preservation ...

A recent study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging determines whether a high-fat diet contributes to memory decline in older people compared to aging alone. Study: High-fat diet and ...

Most people's brains get smaller as they age. It is not so much that neurons die, but that their terminals and synaptic junctions shrivel. A known cause is the over-secretion of cortisol by stress, ...
