S. Tan and colleagues regarding the association of metabolic dysregulation with cognitive markers of brain aging and brain magnetic resonance imaging in middle-aged adults. It says that the study has observed the association between metabolic indices and brain size. Moreover, limitations of the study...
We’ve seen how crucial brain health is to individual well-being. It also plays a pivotal role in the economic and social health and prosperity of our communities. The economic burden of brain health conditions is significant: brain health conditions cost the global economy an estimated $2.5 ...
Ependymal cells produce CSF (cerebrospinal fluid), which is located within the ventricles of the brain and in the subarachnoid space that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. Aside from allowing the brain to float in the skull, CSF acts as a cushion against traumaand also helps wash away some...
What Is Alzheimer's Disease?Anyone can have a lapse in memory. This becomes especially likely as people grow older. It is easy enough for elderly people to forget the names of people they ha-ven't seen in a while or the title of the books that they read last year. People can expect...

of several different species suggest that specific molecular events within brain white matter may better explain observed pathological changes and cognitive deficits. This review focuses on recent evidence highlighting the importance of white matter in deciphering the course of “normal” brain aging. ...
Imaging of the aging brain. Part I. Normal findings. A thorough knowledge of the normal changes that occur in the brain with age is critical before abnormal findings are analyzed. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging improves the ability to distinguish normal and abnormal findings in the brain... ...
The exact cause of ADHD is unknown and may depend on the child, which is why experts disagree on the possible causes of it. However, studies suggest that ADHD stems from a combination of genetics/biology, neurological (brain) trauma, poor nutrition – too much sugar, dyes, and salt, not...
Post mortem findings of Lewy bodies (abnormal deposits of the protein alpha-synuclein) which are thought to disrupt the brain’s normal functioning, combined with a loss of dopamine producing neurons within the basal ganglia indicate ...
Since the aging-induced neurodegenerative process is gradual and irreversible, more efforts should be made to develop solutions that are able to slow down brain aging and brain atrophy [17,18] and an optimal nutritional solution should be able to both enhance cognitive function and reduce the ...
