Brain shape changes linked to dementia: MRI findings
Brain shape changes as a potential early signal for dementia A new study published in Nature Communications on September 29 reveals that the aging brain’s shape, not just its tissue loss, shifts in systematic ways that correlate with cognitive function. The research suggests that magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can capture these geometric changes, which may…

MRI Finds Brain Shape Changes Linked to Dementia Risk
Aging brain shape changes may signal dementia risk Aging brains don’t merely shrink; they also change shape in systematic ways. A Nature Communications study published on September 29 reveals that these global brain shape shifts, detected through MRI, are closely tied to cognitive status and could help clinicians assess dementia risk earlier in the disease…

MIND-Diet: A Shield for the Aging Brain
As we age, it’s natural to be concerned about cognitive decline and memory loss. Recent studies have shed light on a promising solution known as the MIND-Diet, which effectively combines elements of the Mediterranean and DASH diets. This nutritional approach doesn’t just focus on weight loss; it specifically targets the brain’s health, offering protection against…
