Discover how digital detection of dementia enhances early diagnosis in primary care without extra clinician time or costs.

New research has shown that glial cells in the retina are key for neural circuits to adjust to day–night cycles.

Long COVID in women is linked to gut leakiness, chronic inflammation and reduced testosterone, pointing to biological causes of sex-specific symptom severity.

Researchers say confidence in the findings of existing evidence is low to critically low, and suggest that any apparent effect seen in previous studies may be driven by shared genetic and environmental factors within families.

New research has linked the loss of perineuronal nets in the brain to the loss of the ability to recognize loved ones, identifying a new drug target.

Researchers from the University of Rochester and Harvard Medical School developed a nano-micelle CBD formulation that rapidly reached the brain and relieved neuropathic pain in mice. The approach improved CBD delivery across the blood–brain barrier.

Higher midlife troponin levels predicted faster cognitive decline and greater dementia risk decades later, suggesting a simple blood test could help identify those at risk.

Researchers have identified a unique microglial population that protects the brain by lowering inflammation and slowing amyloid and tau pathology.

New research has identified a molecular cascade that causes synaptic dysfunction that is shared by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.

University of Michigan researchers discovered that touch can suppress a longevity gene called fmo-2 in worms, reducing the lifespan benefits of dietary restriction. The study reveals how sensory cues like texture can influence aging.
