The brain's ability to reset itself overnight may be quietly eroding in millions of people with untreated sleep apnea — and the damage appears to scale with…
Walking speed in your eighties turns out to be far more than a measure of physical fitness — it may serve as a window into neurological reserve. New evidence…
The relationship between body composition and dementia risk is far more nuanced than the conventional 'obesity is bad' narrative suggests — and for older…
The assumption that Alzheimer's risk is primarily a late-life biological problem is increasingly untenable. Evidence now points to midlife as a critical…
The paradox at the heart of professional football's health debate has rarely been captured so starkly: elite athletes who live longer than average Americans…
For the millions of people living with HIV who have achieved undetectable viral loads, the assumption that brain health is protected may be dangerously…

How the brain synchronizes activity across anatomically distant regions may matter more than how loudly those regions fire — and new methodology is beginning…
Emerging evidence that the placenta functions as a neurological gatekeeper — not merely a nutrient conduit — has profound implications for understanding how…
For decades, brain imaging research has focused almost exclusively on gray matter as the seat of cognition and mental health. A growing body of evidence now…
The immune cells of the aging brain may hold a key to understanding why age is the dominant risk factor for neurodegeneration — and a circulating protein…
Cerebral palsy, cognitive impairment, and sensory disabilities remain among the most consequential outcomes of complicated births — yet two interventions have…
Long-held assumptions about how experience shapes the brain's visual architecture are being quietly upended. The conventional view has been that neural…
For decades, brain aging research has focused on genetics, biomarkers, and clinical diagnoses — yet the cumulative weight of where and how people live may be…
The concept of a "brain clock" — a biological readout that tells whether your brain is aging faster or slower than your calendar age — has mostly required…
How memory actually forms at the cellular level remains one of neuroscience's most consequential open questions — and the answer has implications for…
Understanding how the sleeping brain cleans itself has long been hampered by the inability to monitor the process in real time, outside a clinical setting. A…
Mental health conditions collectively represent one of the largest sources of disability-adjusted life lost worldwide, yet their true scope is frequently…
For the millions living with sickle cell disease, cognitive decline and silent brain injury are devastating but poorly understood consequences. A new…
