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…
Everything we thought we knew about how the brain's command center is organized may need revision. For decades, neuroscientists have treated the lateral…
For a population carrying a disproportionate Alzheimer's burden, identifying early, measurable warning signs before cognitive decline appears is one of…
For adults hoping to protect cognitive function decades before dementia symptoms emerge, the window for intervention may open far earlier than previously…
For the millions of women who undergo surgical removal of both ovaries before natural menopause, the long-term brain health risks are substantially higher…
The discovery that sleep fundamentally transforms how the brain cleans itself could revolutionize approaches to preventing neurodegeneration and treating…
The prevailing view of Alzheimer's disease has positioned amyloid-beta plaques as relatively passive debris that accumulates in aging brains. This mechanistic…
Economic forecasting may soon incorporate cognitive health data as a primary variable, fundamentally reshaping how societies measure prosperity and allocate…
The growing dominance of ultra-processed foods in modern diets may be exacting a measurable toll on cognitive performance, independent of whether people…
The cognitive costs of ultra-processed foods appear to accumulate with every additional serving, creating measurable declines in mental performance even among…
