Long Term Use Of Anti-Inflammatory Pills Can Prevent Dementia: Study
The researchers focussed their study on 11,745 adults with an average follow-up of 14.5 years. Of these 9,520 participants had used NSAIDs at any given time, and 2,091 participants developed dementia.

Scientists Detect Rising Microplastics in Human Brains, Study Raises Concerns
A study has found microplastics in human brains, with concentrations rising over recent years. Researchers suggest possible links to dementia, but some experts question the findings due to potential flaws in the analysis. While microplastics have been previously detected in human bodies, their impact on brain health remains unclear. Scientists call...

Study Reveals How Brain Divides Continuous Experiences into 'Movie Scenes'
New research shows that the brain organises daily experiences into segments, much like scenes in a movie. The study reveals that memory boundaries are not solely determined by external factors, but also by personal priorities and interpretations. The findings indicate that we have more control over how we perceive and recall experiences than previo...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...

Phones, Smartwatches, Other Digital Devices Make You Smarter, Suggests Study
A new study conducted by UCL researchers has found that using smartphones, smartwatches and other digital devices can improve the memory skills of a person. For the test, the team developed a memory task for 158 volunteers aged between 18 and 71. It was found that using a digital device as external memory helps people to remember the information sa...

Fitness Trackers, Smartwatches May Soon Be Able to Alert About Dementia
In a new study, researchers found substantial variations in the movement pattern of those with mild impairment or Alzheimer's disease when compared to people with normal cognition. This included variation in activity during waking hours and more fragmented activity during afternoons in participants with Alzheimer's.

Neural ‘Poisonous Flowers’ Could Be the Primary Cause of Alzheimer’s Disease, Says New Study
New study, conducted on mice, suggests that “poisonous flowers” bulging with the cellular debris could be the main cause of Alzheimer's Disease. Researchers said their findings suggest that neurons containing these ‘poisonous flowers’ could be the ‘principal source’ of toxic amyloid plaques.

Air Pollution Linked With Higher Risk Of Dementia, Finds Study
Even a small increase in the levels of fine particle pollution (PM2.5) is associated with a greater risk of dementia for people living in those areas, according to a study conducted in the US.
