Loss and dysfunction of synapses have been linked to age-related cognitive decline and observed in Alzheimer's and other ...

Not only do our brains appear to generate new neurons into adulthood, but those of superagers contain far more brain cells in ...

Exercise may sharpen the mind by repairing the brain’s protective shield. Researchers found that physical activity prompts the liver to release an enzyme that removes a harmful protein causing the ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Researchers find that nearly half of adults over 65 show cognitive and physical improvements, driven largely by positive beliefs about aging.

When mice exercise, their livers release GPLD1 into the bloodstream. The enzyme travels to the blood vessels surrounding the brain and removes TNAP from the surface of those cells. By trimming away ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Surviving cancer at a young age may come with an unexpected cost: faster aging at both the cellular and brain levels. Researchers found that survivors often show signs of being biologically older than ...

A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

A Canadian study examines how developing expertise in the hobby strengthens cognition tied to working memory and other skills ...
