Ever wonder why some people seem sharp as a tack while others struggle with memory as they age? Turns out, it's not just about genes. A recent study shows that simple, everyday habits can make a big difference in keeping your brain young. Researchers found that people who took care of themselves ha
Feeling younger than your age might not just be a feeling—it could be a sign of a healthier brain. Studies show that people who feel younger often have brains that look younger too. As we get older, our brains naturally shrink, blood flow slows down, and thinking can get a bit foggy. But there are w
Stress is a silent troublemaker. It sneaks up on us, causing more harm than we might realize. Recent studies have shown that stress doesn't just make us feel bad—it actually changes our DNA in ways that mimic aging. This discovery has scientists buzzing with new ideas about how our bodies age and wh
As we get older, our brains shrink, and our thinking skills deteriorate. Scientists have found a new way to study this process using brain age prediction. This study introduces a special deep learning model that can guess someone's age from brain scans. Researchers used data from almost 17, 000 heal
A group of scientists have discovered something interesting about our brains. They found that our brains age the most at three specific ages: 57, 70, and 78. This means that our minds might start to slow down a bit more during these years. The team looked at over 10, 000 adults' brain scans and chec
A new study suggests that COVID-19 lockdowns may have accelerated brain aging in teenagers, particularly girls. Researchers at the University of Washington found that the cerebral cortex, the brain's outer layer responsible for higher-level thinking, thinned more rapidly in teens during the pandemi
