A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

These findings provide some evidence that reduced slow wave sleep (SWS) and rapid eye movement sleep (REM) may contribute to brain atrophy, thereby increasing the risk of Alzheimer disease (AD).

As humans grow older, their emotional stability and sleep patterns can change significantly. For instance, some past studies ...

October 20, 2011 (Amsterdam, the Netherlands) — A new investigation finds that 6 years after diagnosis, brain volumes and, particularly, cognition were more severely affected in men with multiple ...
