“Anyone with a brain is at risk for Alzheimer’s.” —Richard Isaacson
Improving memory with transcranial neuromodulation
Research shows that noninvasive neuromodulation can improve performance in memory tasks. Is this technique simply a research tool, or is it a therapy of the future?
Can treating hearing loss improve cognitive trajectories and reduce dementia risk?
Age-related hearing loss is very common and has long been known to correlate strongly with cognitive decline. A just-published randomized trial sought to evaluate causality in this association. What do we know now?

“If you’re trying to maintain a basic set of cognitive functions, [it is important] to actively work on ways to increase headroom, increase absolute capacity throughout the lifespan. Because at some point capacity will decrease, but you want to push that out as far as you can.” —Tommy Wood

“One of the things that is so dangerous about this disorder is that the plaque that you get in FH is a soft plaque.” —John Kastelein
Screen time and children’s cognition: a question of context
A recent review suggests that screen time may not be as bad for infants as many of us may think – but only under the right circumstances.
Non-caffeine components of coffee and their effects on neurodegenerative diseases
Coffee consumption is associated with reduced risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative processes, but the effect may be more than a matter of caffeine.
