Brain development does not end at 25 but continues into the early 30s as neural networks become more efficient and ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively ...

I recently asked myself if I’ll still have a healthy brain as I get older. I hold a professorship at a neurology department. Nevertheless, it is difficult for me to judge if a particular brain, ...

The human brain shrinks as it ages, affecting the ability to remember — it’s part of life. Yet there are a lucky few, called “SuperAgers,” who possess a brain that fights back. For these people, ...

Old age comes for everyone, but how fast it happens—and how healthy you remain when it does—can vary dramatically. Groundbreaking new research makes it easier than ever to determine how fast your ...
