Massive study launches to test if brain training really prevents dementia
Yes, brain training does appear to reduce dementia risk—but not in the way most people expect. A major 20-year study published in February 2026 found that...
New findings suggest natural compounds may protect memory
Recent scientific research has identified several natural compounds that show genuine promise in protecting memory and slowing cognitive decline.
Researchers look at plant-derived solutions for brain diseases
Researchers are actively investigating plant-derived compounds as potential treatments for neurodegenerative diseases, with particular focus on conditions...
This new target could dramatically reduce Alzheimer’s brain plaques
Multiple breakthrough targets for reducing Alzheimer's brain plaques have emerged in 2026, offering genuine hope for slowing or preventing the disease's...
New findings reveal what causes brain cells to die in dementia
Brain cell death in dementia occurs through multiple converging mechanisms, but recent research has identified a specific "death switch" that appears to...
This “switch” in the brain may explain how Alzheimer’s progresses
The progression of Alzheimer's disease appears to be controlled by molecular "switches" in the brain—specific protein interactions and genetic mechanisms...
Scientists discovered a hidden trigger behind Alzheimer’s brain damage
Scientists have identified the hidden trigger behind Alzheimer's brain damage: a toxic protein interaction called the "NMDAR/TRPM4 death complex.
New research explores unexpected way to identify memory decline
New research reveals an unexpected way to identify people at risk for memory decline: tracking the rate at which their brain tissue shrinks over time.
Experts study connection between cellular energy and memory loss
Experts have discovered a direct biological connection between failing cellular energy and memory loss that reshapes our understanding of cognitive...
