Many assume that memory loss and cognitive decline are an inevitable part of aging — but new research suggests that doesn’t have to be the case. A 25-year study from Northwestern University analyzed ...

Growing older often comes with the expectation of memory loss. By age 80, the average person recalls far fewer words on standard memory tests than they did in middle age. Scientists long assumed this ...

A protective APOE gene variant is enriched in Super Agers—people over 80 who think like 50‑year‑olds—cutting Alzheimer’s risk and helping preserve sharp memory into old age.

A team of scientists from the University of Cambridge and the University of Leeds has uncovered a way to restore memory in older mice, raising hopes that age-related memory decline in humans might one ...

Virginia Tech researchers have shown that memory loss in aging may be reversible. Using CRISPR tools, they corrected molecular disruptions in the hippocampus and amygdala, restoring memory in older ...

Memory loss may not simply be a symptom of getting older. New research from Virginia Tech shows that it's tied to specific molecular changes in the brain and that adjusting those processes can improve ...

A massive international brain study has revealed that memory decline with age isn’t driven by a single brain region or gene, but by widespread structural changes across the brain that build up over ...

Two separate studies have identified age-related molecular changes in the brain and adjusted them to improve memory. New research from Virginia Tech (VA, USA) shows that memory loss is tied to ...
