New research reveals how physical activity may directly preserve brain structure and support memory function as you age.

Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Menopause is linked to higher rates of anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption, along with subtle losses of gray matter in brain regions involved in emotion and memory, and hormone replacement ...

In a recent study published in Science Advances, a group of researchers assessed whether dendritic spine head diameter in the temporal cortex is a better predictor of episodic memory performance in ...

Long working hours may alter the structure of the brain, particularly the areas associated with emotional regulation and executive function, such as working memory and problem solving, suggest the ...

A diet focused on the best foods for brain health slowed aging in key parts of the brain by over 2 years, a new study found.

Changes to one's hippocampus, the brain's memory centre, in response to prolonged pain could be an important factor for why ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed a ...

COVID-19 may shrink the brain's gray matter, primarily in areas of the brain involved in smell and memory processing, a large ...
