Research suggests nightmares may become prevalent several years or even decades before characteristic memory and thinking problems set in.

A new mechanism that slows down and may even prevent the natural ageing of immune cells – one of the nine ‘hallmarks of ageing’.

Sleeping seven to nine hours daily, exercising regularly and having frequent social contact was associated with a lower risk of dementia.

The message is that for protective health benefits people could not only ideally aim for 10,000 steps a day but also aim to walk faster.

Taking a more spirited approach and walking briskly — defined as more than 40 steps per minute — brings even better results.

Novel music intervention sparks emotional connection between patients and caregivers. Patients had less agitation, anxiety and depression.

A new study from North Carolina State University explores the connection between hearing loss and dementia in geriatric dogs.

Researchers develop a nanobody capable of getting through the tough exterior of brain cells and untangling misshapen proteins leading to PD.

People with fatty liver disease who also have heart disease or who have had a stroke may have an even higher risk of dementia.

A long-term study has shown a common bone density scan can also reveal if someone is at increased risk of developing dementia.

A single MRI scan of the brain could be enough to diagnose Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research by Imperial College London.

Research finds there is a relationship between participating in certain lifestyle activities and preventing a decline in cognitive health.

Adding cranberries to your diet could help improve memory and brain function, and lower ‘bad’ cholesterol – according to new research.

Sodium selenate may slow cognitive decline and neurodegenerative damage that is the hallmark of many dementias including Alzheimer’s Disease

Ultrasound can overcome some of the detrimental effects of ageing and dementia without the need to cross the blood-brain barrier.

One finding of this study is that as people’s fitness improved, their risk of Alzheimer’s disease decreased—it was not all-or-nothing.

A simple memory test could pick up the early signs of Alzheimer’s disease well before symptoms start to show, scientists say.

Adults with dementia or mild cognitive impairment were able to improve their memory by using a personal assistant app on their smartphones.

Artificial intelligence can predict which people who attend memory clinics will develop dementia within two years with 92 per cent accuracy.

Many people experience forgetfulness, but it’s often difficult to tell if these memory issues are a normal part of aging or something more.
