Treatments with anticancer chemotherapeutic agents often are toxic to the cells of the brain, leading to memory loss and cognitive dysfunction that can persist long after the period of exposure. This condition, termed chemo brain, appears to be due to DNA damages that cause epigenetic changes in the brain that accelerate the brain aging process ...
Since life extension is only pertinent if accompanied by health span extension, and, more importantly, by preserving brain health and cognition, finding rejuvenating approaches that act simultaneously in peripheral tissues and in brain function is a key strategy for development of rejuvenating technology.
A biological explanation for memory deficits in aging includes a postmortem examination of five brains of elderly people with better memory than average. These people are called the "super aged," and it was found that these individuals had fewer fiber-like tangles of tau protein than in typical elderly brains.
“SuperAgers,” people in their 80s with brains as sharp as those in the 40s and 50s, are more active and in better mental shape than typical older adults, study says. Study finds more clues as ...
A 2019 report on brain health supplements concluded that “scientific evidence does not support the use of any supplement to prevent, slow, reverse, or stop MCI [mild cognitive impairment] or ...
People with high blood pressure who slept for shorter durations were more likely to show poor cognitive function and increased levels of markers of brain aging and injury, a new study has found.
Research suggests that using the Internet helps boost brain power for middle-aged and older people [17] (research on younger people has not been done). The study compares brain activity when the subjects were reading and when the subjects were surfing the Internet. It found that Internet surfing uses much more brain activity than reading does.
Several, but not all, studies have found hyperopia to be associated with lower IQ and school achievements. A common explanation for myopia is near-work. Regarding the relationship to IQ, several explanations have been proposed. One is that the myopic child is better adapted at reading, and reads and studies more, which increases intelligence.
