A new study analyzed older adults who ate 60 grams of unsalted skin-roasted peanuts every day for 16 weeks. Scientists found that about two servings daily could increase verbal memory and blood flow to the brain.

A groundbreaking new study reveals that changes to the gut microbiome can change the way the brain works. Humans have the largest relative brain size of any primate, but little is known about how mammals with larger brains evolved to meet the intense energy demands required to support brain growth and maintenance.

Foods like extra-virgin olive oil, berries and eggs have nutrients to benefit brain health. More brain health-promoting habits include exercise, stress management and sleep.

A new study suggests that taking a two-hour nap during a night shift may help restore brain function and memory in nurses. The research provides evidence that napping can reverse some of the disruptive effects of sleep deprivation on brain connectivity.

This exploratory study in healthy young adults found that plasma sodium levels within the normal clinical range are significantly associated with resting motor threshold, an indirect measure of corticospinal excitability.

Scientists can finally hear the brain’s quietest messages—unlocking the hidden code behind how neurons think, decide, and remember.

Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to adapt in response to thoughts, experiences and outside stimuli, essentially reshaping its connections and changing how it functions. Research has found that aerobic exercise can enhance neuroplasticity by increasing the production of a specific protein called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).

Scientists from Indian Institute of Science (IISc) reported an advance in the long quest to move electronics beyond silicon, by creating mo.
