Running Rewires the Aging Brain: Exercise Protects Memory Function

Physical activity, particularly running, has been found to rewire aging brains, helping to preserve memory functions.
Long-term running keeps older neurons wired, potentially preventing age-related memory loss and neurodegeneration.

Stimulation of the Cerebellum Improves Episodic Memory in Older People

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the right cerebellum improved episodic memory in elderly people, a new study reports. The findings open the door to developing new, non-invasive therapies to treat age-related memory and cognitive problems.

Cognitive Decline May Be Triggered by Astrocyte Dysfunction

A new study reveals astrocyte dysfunction may be a driver of cognitive decline and memory loss in those with dementia. This may be caused by a protein build-up in the astrocytes that appears to trigger abnormal antiviral activity that results in memory loss.

Fresh Understanding of Aging in the Brain Offers Hope for Treating Neurological Diseases

As the brain ages, microglia adopt dysfunctional states that increase the risk of developing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Obesity-Related Neurodegeneration Mimics Alzheimer’s Disease

A new study led by scientists at The Neuro (Montreal Neurological Institute-Hospital) of McGill University finds a correlation between neurodegeneration in obese people and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients, suggesting that losing excess weight could slow cognitive decline in aging and lower risk for AD.

Obesity-Associated Neurodegeneration Pattern Mimics Alzheimer’s Disease in an Observational Cohort Study

Obesity-related grey matter atrophy resembles that of AD. Excess weight management could lead to improved health outcomes, slow down cognitive decline in aging, and lower the risk for AD.

Gene usage in the brains of those who suffered severe COVID-19 infections was similar to that observed in the aging brain. Researchers say COVID-19 is associated with molecular signatures of brain aging.
