Childhood dementia is an umbrella group of rare, mostly untreatable neurodegenerative disorders that show symptoms before the age of 18. These conditions cause progressive deterioration of the brain and the loss of previously acquired skills, including: talking, walking, and playing. Other symptoms and complications are the loss of movement ...
The neurobiological effects of physical exercise involve possible interrelated effects on brain structure, brain function, and cognition. [1][2][3][4] Research in humans has demonstrated that consistent aerobic exercise (e.g., 30 minutes every day) may induce improvements in certain cognitive functions, neuroplasticity and behavioral plasticity ...
Research shows aerobic exercise for a little as 10 minutes a day, such as dancing, gardening or even power walking around the grocery store, is enough to give the brain a boost, says Suzuki. The ...
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 ...
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 ...
Research suggests that exercising improves cognitive processes and memory, while increasing the thickness of your cerebral cortex, which is responsible for tasks like language, thinking, and ...
Progressive supranuclear palsy. Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a late-onset neurodegenerative disease involving the gradual deterioration and death of specific volumes of the brain. [1][2] The condition leads to symptoms including loss of balance, slowing of movement, difficulty moving the eyes, and cognitive impairment. [1]
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and progressively worsens, [2] and is the cause of 60–70% of cases of dementia. [2][15] The most common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events. [1] As the disease advances, symptoms can include problems with language, disorientation (including ...
