Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
The science community has known that exercise helps prevent dementia, but now they finally know why. A newly published study from Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany, followed 60 participants ...
1. Experiment with sounds. Music has a profound effect on people with dementia, stimulating memories and encouraging creativity. Introducing simple musical instruments or songs can offer positive ...
Korsakoff syndrome (KS) [1] is a disorder of the central nervous system characterized by amnesia, deficits in explicit memory, and confabulation.

Nearly 1 in 5 dementia cases could be associated with vision impairment, according to a study published Thursday, suggesting better eye health could help to lower the diagnosis rate. Dementia does ...
Posterior cortical atrophy. Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), also called Benson's syndrome, is a rare form of dementia which is considered a visual variant or an atypical variant of Alzheimer's disease (AD). [1][2][3] The disease causes atrophy of the posterior part of the cerebral cortex, resulting in the progressive disruption of complex ...
Normal aging. Normal aging is associated with a decline in various memory abilities in many cognitive tasks; the phenomenon is known as age-related memory impairment (AMI) or age-associated memory impairment (AAMI). The ability to encode new memories of events or facts and working memory shows decline in both cross-sectional and longitudinal ...
Mild dementia symptoms mimic episodes of age-related forgetfulness. Moderate or middle-stage dementia (stages 4 and 5). Moderate dementia symptoms significantly affect a person’s personality and ...
