IDH -mutant gliomas represent a rare subset of brain tumors, affecting approximately 12% to 20% of adult patients with glioma. 1 Typically diagnosed in younger populations, these tumors generally ...

Can you name the largest part of the brain? It makes up 85% of the brain’s mass and is responsible for your intelligence and memory. Let’s explore what makes its shape special and how its four lobes ...

Older adults lose their ability to hear concrete sounds first, and with this loss come the more difficult aspects of hearing: the fuzzy edges of speech. As your hearing deteriorates, you are likely ...

Researchers using high-resolution brain scans are finding that when hearing starts to slip, the brain does not simply “turn ...

Memories are thought to be stored in sparse groups of neurons called engrams. These are the cells that switch on during learning and can later switch on again during recall. In physiological aging and ...

In A Nutshell Brain scans of 110 adults show that in people with age-related hearing loss, certain brain regions can’t maintain adequate activity levels as tissue shrinks A memory-related region ...

A common condition that affects up to half of older adults in America may raise the risk of suffering from cognitive decline and dementia, a new study from Chinese researchers has suggested.

Hearing loss can be a sign of cognitive decline, and researchers are getting much closer to understanding what links these two processes so closely.

Researchers identify the Functional-Structural Ratio (FSR) as the biological link between age-related hearing loss and cognitive decline, offering a potential new biomarker for dementia risk.

Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

If you’ve ever started an antidepressant and spent weeks waiting to see if it helps, you know the hardest part is the guesswork.

C OVID-19 may leave a lasting impression on the brain, even in people who fully recover from their infection. New research ...
