Brain Markers Could Offer Early Clues Into Parkinson’s Disease: A New Imaging Study
New Imaging Study Shows Promise for Early Parkinson’s Clues Parkinson’s disease, which affects more than 1.1 million people in the United States, is notoriously difficult to diagnose early. A new study leveraging advanced brain imaging proposes that specific brain markers—two key neural indicators—lose their normal relationship as Parkinson’s progresses. By examining how these markers interact,…

Poor Sleep Quality Accelerates Brain Aging: What Science Reveals
Introduction: Sleep, Brain Aging, and The Big Question For years, scientists have examined the uneasy relationship between sleep and brain health. While it is established that sleep problems are associated with dementia and cognitive decline, a key question remained: does poor sleep actively accelerate brain aging, or is it simply an early symptom of neurodegenerative…

Poor Sleep Quality Accelerates Brain Aging: What You Need to Know
New Evidence Links Sleep Quality to Brain Aging For years, researchers have explored the relationship between sleep and cognitive health. A growing body of evidence now suggests that poor sleep quality does more than leave you tired in the morning: it may accelerate brain aging and increase the risk of cognitive decline over time. While…

How Brain Imaging Sheds Light on Why Stimulants Boost ADHD Performance
Understanding the Promise of Stimulants in ADHD Stimulant medications like methylphenidate (Ritalin) and amphetamine-based drugs (Adderall) have long been a cornerstone in treating attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). While their effectiveness is well documented in clinical practice, recent brain imaging studies are clarifying exactly how these medications alter brain activity to improve attention, impulse control,…
