Scientists warn that current vitamin B12 guidelines may be putting your brain at risk
Getting enough vitamin B12 to meet current health guidelines may not actually be enough to protect the aging brain. Researchers at UC San Francisco found that older adults with “normal” but lower levels of active B12 showed signs of slower thinking, delayed visual processing, and more damage to the brain’s white matter — the communication highways that help different brain regions work together.
People with this blood pressure reading at 16% higher risk of dying from dementia
People with this blood pressure reading at 16% higher risk of dying from dementia Experts say there are other key ways to help reduce your risk of dementia too People with a genetic predisposition for elevated pulse pressure face a higher likelihood of dementia-related death, new research has revealed. The study discovered that this blood pressure measurement could heighten risk by 16 per cent. Pulse pressure, a key indicator of cardiovascular risk, is determined by subtracting the lower...
Understanding anorexia’s grip on the brain could unlock new therapies
Thirteen years ago, I was on the brink of death. My nearly year-long battle with anorexia nervosa had reached a tipping point: tests showed my heart could give out at any moment, and I was rushed to the emergency room. I only wanted to go home and celebrate my 15th birthday with the two chocolate-covered strawberries I had allotted in my self-imposed calorie restrictions.
Dementia risk linked to nitrate in drinking water, study finds
Dementia risk linked to nitrate in drinking water, study finds - Date: - June 8, 2026 - Source: - Edith Cowan University - Summary: - A major long-term study of more than 54,000 adults found that where nitrate comes from may matter far more than how much you consume. People who got more nitrate from vegetables—roughly the amount in a cup of baby spinach a day—had a lower risk of developing dementia, while higher nitrate and nitrite intake from red meat, processed meat, and even drinking...
Why you need to future proof your brain in middle age and how to start
To chart how our brains change over the course of our lives, neuroscientists have focused largely on beginnings and endings: the rapid development and pruning of neural connections in childhood and adolescence, and the degeneration associated with old age. “We kind of skipped over middle age,” says Sebastian Dohm-Hansen, a bioinformatician at University College Cork in Ireland. There are good reasons for that, not least that changes in brain structure and function are easier to spot with...
Ultra-processed foods may be stealing your focus even if you eat healthy
Ultra-processed foods may be stealing your focus even if you eat healthy - Date: - June 9, 2026 - Source: - Monash University - Summary: - A study of more than 2,100 adults found that eating more ultra-processed foods was linked to poorer attention and slower mental processing, even among people with otherwise healthy diets. Researchers also found higher consumption was associated with increased dementia risk factors, raising concerns about the hidden cognitive costs of heavily processed...

Scientists discover gut bacteria that may help protect against autism and ADHD
Scientists discover gut bacteria that may help protect against autism and ADHD - Date: - June 2, 2026 - Source: - Cell Press - Summary: - A major study suggests that some of the groundwork for brain development may be shaped before birth through a surprising partnership between a baby’s genes and gut microbes. Researchers found that epigenetic changes present at birth can influence how the gut microbiome develops during the first year of life, and certain combinations were linked to early...
Bacteria can learn and form memories without a brain
Bacteria can learn and form memories without a brain Lisa Lock Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have shown that bacteria can learn from past experiences, store memories across generations and adapt their behavior to changing environments, all without a brain or nervous system. The research could shape how scientists think about bacterial infections and antibiotic treatment. In a study published in PRX Life, researchers from Carnegie...
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise
Scientists mapped every neural connection in a fruit fly and found a surprise Scientists have completed the first full brain-to-body wiring map of a fruit fly, revealing that behavior may be driven more by local neural teamwork than by a central brain command center. - Date: - June 10, 2026 - Source: - Harvard Medical School - Summary: - A groundbreaking new connectome maps every neural connection in an adult fruit fly’s central nervous system, creating an unprecedented view of how the brain...
