How Midlife Vascular Health Buys You 13 Dementia-Free Years — And Why Cognitive Offloading Memory Matters
Research from NYU Langone Health published in Neurology shows that maintaining healthy blood pressure, avoiding diabetes, and not smoking between ages 48 and 68 is associated with nearly 13 additional years of dementia-free life. The study analyzed 12,409 participants over 26 years and highlights the intersection of vascular health, cognitive offloading memory, and cognitive resilience in aging.
3D Brain Tissue Models: What Researchers Learned About Normal Cognitive Aging to Combat Alzheimer's
A 3D human brain tissue model developed over nine years using stem cells to replicate Alzheimer's disease processes, enabling drug screening and accelerating therapeutic development.
Understanding Cognitive Aging: Why Blood Cells Enter the Brain and What It Means for Memory Loss vs Dementia
A Stanford study reveals blood cells enter the aging brain and become microglia. What this means for cognitive aging, memory loss vs dementia, and Alzheimer's risk.
