Scientists reverse anxiety by rebalancing the brain
A research team at the Institute for Neurosciences (IN), led by Juan Lerma, has uncovered how a distinct group of neurons in the amygdala — a region of the brain…
Resetting the body’s rhythm could protect the brain from Alzheimer’s
Disrupting communication between the body’s internal clock and the brain could help limit neurodegeneration in Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis…
Gum disease may quietly damage the brain, scientists warn
Adults who suffer from gum disease could be more likely to show signs of injury in the brain’s white matter, according to new research published on October 22, 2025, in…
Scientists reversed brain aging and memory loss in mice
Scientists at Cedars-Sinai have developed “young” immune cells from human stem cells that reversed signs of aging and Alzheimer’s disease in the brains of laboratory mice, according to findings published…
Running fixes what junk food breaks in the brain
Researchers at University College Cork, led by Professor Yvonne Nolan, have uncovered the specific metabolic processes that explain how exercise helps offset the harmful behavioral effects of eating a Western-style…
Scientists discover how a high-fat keto diet could keep your brain young
