An analysis of Project Talent Aging Study data has found that individuals who had better cognitive ability as adolescents were less likely to develop dementia 60 years later. Education played a mediating role, with better-educated individuals showing a reduced likelihood of developing dementia. The paper was published in the Journal of the Alzheimer’s Association. Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life, encompassing various symptoms related to memory loss, reasoning, problem-solving, and other cognitive functions. It is typically c...

A small study conducted in the United Kingdom has found that individuals with frontotemporal dementia who had engaged in musical activities earlier in life demonstrated superior social and emotional functioning. Those who devoted more time to music listening also exhibited enhanced empathy. The research was published in the Frontiers in Neurology. Frontotemporal dementia is a group of brain disorders that primarily affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain, regions associated with personality, behavior, and language. It is characterized by the degeneration of nerve cells in these area...

A new study reveals that human brains have been getting larger over recent decades. Specifically, people born in the 1970s were found to have brain volumes 6.6% larger and brain surface areas almost 15% larger than those born in the 1930s. This increase in brain size, the researchers suggest, could be boosting our brain reserve, potentially lowering the risk of age-related dementias. The findings have been published inJAMA Neurology. The overall health of Americans has significantly improved over the past century, despite persisting health disparities. With people living longer, there’s a grow...

A smartphone app can be used for cognitive tests to diagnose the most common form of dementia for people under the age of 60. Researchers at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) in the US found that remotely deployed smartphone tests could help to detect frontotemporal dementia in people who are genetically predisposed to it before symptoms start. Frontotemporal disorders or dementia (FTD) refers to several diseases of the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain that typically affect people between the ages of 45 and 64. There are different symptoms of FTD including behavioural ch...

A new study has found that our brains are getting larger, which could be good news for reducing dementia risk. Researchers from the University of California analysed data from a cohort in the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) which started in 1948 in the US and originally consisted of 5,209 men and women between the ages of 30 and 62. The study has continued for 75 years, meaning that it now includes participants born during the 1930s through the 1970s. Though it was originally designed to study cardiovascular diseases, the researchers focused on MRI results of more than 3,200 people. Published in ...
