Recent studies from MIT and Microsoft Research indicate that prolonged AI use can lead to reduced brain activity, decreased cognitive connectivity, and a tendency to overestimate one's understanding and abilities. The research suggests a phenomenon termed 'cognitive debt,' where short-term efficiency gains may impair long-term thinking and memory formation.
Researchers developed a nasal spray containing extracellular vesicles to combat age-related chronic brain inflammation and cognitive decline. In trials on mice, the drug reduced inflammation and oxidative stress, improved memory, and restructured immune cells in the brain.
Experts emphasize that mental challenges and new experiences are crucial for brain health, recommending activities like reading, nature, volunteering, games, music, and learning languages to prevent cognitive decline and dementia.
Biogen advances diranersen, an experimental tau-targeting Alzheimer's drug, to Phase 3 trials despite mixed mid-stage results, citing promising signals of tau reduction and slowed cognitive decline.
Research shows caring for 50+ hours weekly accelerates cognitive decline, while 5-9 hours boosts brain health. Carers UK calls findings 'extremely worrying,' highlighting risks of isolation and burnout.
Oral fish oil intake may not improve and could even speed up cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease, a research team from China’s Army Medical University has found. Many older adults are accustomed to taking omega-3 supplements to help protect cognitive function. However, findings from the Chinese study challenge this view. The study was based on an analysis of more than 800 older adults in North America, around half of whom carry the dementia-risk gene APOEε4. The data showed that those...
