| |  Higher optimism in adults aged 70 and older was associated with a lower risk of developing dementia over up to 14 years of follow-up in the Health and Retirement Study. The association remained after adjustment for demographic factors, depression, health conditions, smoking, and physical activity, although the study was observational and cannot prove causation. | |

| |  By tagging neurons with molecular "barcodes," researchers mapped connections among thousands of neurons in the mouse brain with unprecedented speed and resolution. | |
|
| | Cognitive and physical training can help older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) maintain or improve their ability to move and think simultaneously, but hearing ability and sex influence outcomes, according to a new Concordia-led study. | |
|
| | Animal behavior reflects a complex interplay between an animal's brain and its sensory surroundings. Only rarely have scientists been able to discern how actions emerge from this interaction. | |
|
| | A new study finds that combining the current medications for Alzheimer's disease with small molecules derived from micronutrients found in grapes, berries, peanuts and turmeric is a safer and more effective way to treat the disease. | |
|
| | The default mode network (DMN) is a distributed set of interconnected brain regions that has long been associated with internally oriented cognition such as remembering the past, thinking about the future, or thinking about oneself. | |
|
| | New research from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) reveals how two different parts of the brain's memory center team up in a key reward region to help mice-and likely humans-combine memories of places and contexts with the drive to pursue rewards. | |
|
| | The correlation between smoking and neurodegeneration is well-documented, with one study from 2011 finding heavy smoking in midlife was associated with a greater than 100% increase in risk of dementia, Alzheimer's and vascular dementia more than two decades later. | |
