Your brain doesn't have to age on autopilot. New research shows we can slow—and potentially reverse—brain aging.

A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

A new study led by investigators from Mass General Brigham has identified a unique brain network that links varied patterns of brain atrophy, or shrinkage, associated with schizophrenia. By combining ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).

Frequency of social contact was tied to brain volume in cognitively normal older adults, a cross-sectional study in Japan showed. Total brain volume was smaller in people who had the lowest frequency ...
