Alzheimer’s timeline shows changes start as trickle, become torrent
A study of cells from 84 brains finds that Alzheimer’s has two distinct phases, and that one type of neuron is especially vulnerable.NPR
Regular exercise helps improve concentration, increase stress resistance and slow down age-related changes in brain function.
They also affect the general psycho-emotional state, making us more resistant to depression, anxiety and cognitive impairment.

In a First, Scientists Found Structural, Brain-Wide Changes During Menstruation : ScienceAlert
The constant ebb and flow of hormones that guide the menstrual cycle don't just affect reproductive anatomy.Michelle Starr (ScienceAlert)
Oh, what, it was some other scientists who have been working on brain-computer interfaces for a long, long time? Yes it was.
Veteran science reporters would know the context and include it...but today's news biz isn't interested in all that.

Restricting calories is known to improve health and increase lifespan, but much of how it does so remains a mystery, especially in regard to how it protects the brain. Scientists have now uncovered a role for a gene called OXR1 that is necessary for the lifespan extension seen with dietary restriction and is essential for healthy brain aging.

White matter forms the bulk of the deep parts of the brain and affects learning and brain functions. Animal studies have suggested that chronic MDMA use can degrade white matter.
Luckily, this new study in humans compared 39 chronic MDMA users with 36 non-users and found no evidence of white matter degradation in the MDMA users.
