The human brain requires constant nourishment to maintain its complex network of billions of neurons, yet certain foods actively work against optimal brain function. While most people focus on foods ...

An international study that pooled brain scans and memory tests from thousands of adults has shed new light on how structural ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, ...

An international team of researchers, with the involvement of the UAB, has conducted a study that explains the evolutionary ...

Scientists uncover how brain shrinkage across multiple regions accelerates memory decline in healthy ageing adults.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- Here's another reason why stress is bad for your health. A new study shows it might actually shrink your brain. Researchers found a link between high levels of a stress hormone and ...

Here’s some food for thought. The brain requires a steady supply of nutrients, antioxidants and healthy fats to perform well. Foods like fatty fish, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds ...

Common shrews are one of only a handful of mammals known to flexibly shrink and regrow their brains. This rare seasonal cycle, known as Dehnel’s phenomenon, has puzzled scientists for decades. How can ...

On brain scans, these people show less brain shrinkage than would be expected at their stage of life and, because of this, may be more protected against developing dementia. The scientists who studied ...

A new trial suggests that a “green Mediterranean diet” — which cuts out animal proteins in favor of plants — can lower biomarkers tied to accelerated brain aging. Participants were told to cut back on ...

You are what you eat. This simple adage serves us well when we think about a healthy diet full of a variety of whole foods brimming with protein, natural fats, and carbohydrates packed with all the ...

Using an innovative method, EPFL scientists show that the brain is not as compact as we have thought all along. To study the fine structure of the brain, including its connections between neurons, the ...
