A new study suggests that a certain number of hours of sleep each night — between 6.4 and 7.8 hours to be exact — is ...

A groundbreaking long-term MRI study at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Beersheba shows that lower accumulation of abdominal (visceral) fat is linked with a significant slowing of brain ...

The study demonstrates a coordinated “U-shaped” relationship between sleep duration and biological age. The findings suggest ...

An analysis of biological clocks throughout the human body suggests that too few hours of sleep—and too many—may speed aging ...

The Nature study introduces “Sleep Chart,” a framework linking self-reported sleep duration with 23 biological aging clocks ...

People who carry the APOE2 version of the apolipoprotein E gene are more likely to live to advanced age and are partly ...

The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified certain ...

As we age, the composition and function of proteins in the brain change, affecting how well our brain performs later in life—influencing memory, responsiveness, and the risk of neurodegenerative ...

If you want to slow brain aging, you know you should exercise and eat right. But you probably never suspected this hobby ...

The findings raise the possibility of new treatments for aging-related cognitive decline. Artificial neurons grown in petri dishes will grow branching wires, or neurites, with several “arms.” When ...

And no one is too old to pick it up.
