Just 2 teaspoons of nuts can stave off cognitive decline in the elderly
As people grow older, their cognitive health declines. But a new Australian study suggests that aging people can improve their cognitive function if they eat large amounts of nuts every day. The researchers surveyed more than 4,800 Chinese adults who were 55 years of age or older for 15 years. They discovered a link between eating more than […]

Researchers study zebrafish brain cells to develop new treatments for Alzheimer’s
A potential solution to the debilitating effects of Alzheimer’s disease may lie within the zebrafish. The popular aquarium fish can grow new brain cells to replace the ones they’ve lost to injury or sickness. Their ability to regenerate neurons comes from progenitor cells. These cells may offer a way for humans to slow down the onset […]

Novel finding suggests magnets can improve working memory
There may be a new alternative option for treating Alzheimer’s disease or dementia without resorting to toxic pharmaceutical drugs. A new approach uses magnets to stimulate the brain’s working memory. Researchers at Duke University have recently debuted an experimental therapy called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) which applies a high-frequency magnetic pulse to the left prefrontal cortex […]

Neurofeedback found to strengthen mental skills in less than an hour
Looking for a way to improve your mental skills in under an hour? Try a brain training game that uses neurofeedback to boost your neural connection, suggest Brazilian researchers. This was the main finding of a study led by the D’Or Institute for Research and Education (IDOR), which was published in the scientific journal NeuroImage. Neurofeedback is an approach […]

Microglia protect the central nervous system from inflammation and could hold the key to treating retina disease
Microglia help protect the central nervous system from disease-causing pathogens and issues. Recent research has revealed that these cells determine whether or not other immune cells might enter the brain. Managing these gatekeeper cells might offer a way to control the risk of inflammation that damage the retina. Researchers at the Massachusetts Eye and Ear (MEE) hospital discovered […]

Researchers map the Alzheimer’s brain, discover that one area appears to protect itself against decline
The latest protein maps of the brains of patients with Alzheimer’s disease showed that at least one region succeeded in holding off the ravages of the disease. U.K. researchers believed that the cerebellum’s ability to protect itself against Alzheimer’s might be reproducible in other parts of the brain. They examined the brain and other essential organs of people […]

Could falling prey to financial scams be a sign of dementia in older people?
To err is human. But if an older person falls for a financial scam, it may be an early warning sign of declining mental powers. And such cognitive decline eventually leads to dementia and even Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s afflicts a third of the population aged 85 or older. The disease is incurable. Existing “treatments” only […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

Could a medicinal herb native to California treat Alzheimer’s?
The medicinal herb called yerba santa (Eriodictyon californicum) contains a compound that may be able to reduce harmful swelling in the brain. Researchers said the plant-based chemical shows promise as a potential natural treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Native to California, yerba santa means “holy herb” in Spanish. Yerba santa is traditionally used as a natural remedy for headaches, fevers, and other […]

The mechanics of why exercise is good for brain health, memory
An international study presented further evidence that irisin protects neurons in the brain from degeneration. It showed that the so-called “exercise-induced hormone” can improve memory in humans and mice. First identified in 2012 by researchers from the Harvard Medical School, irisin is a messenger hormone that helps convert white fat into brown fat, which produces heat. It was named […]
