There is no discernible effect of an additional year of education from a policy change on long-term structural neuroimaging measures in a large aging sample (UK Biobank).

Recently, the team led by Chief Physician Quan Zhang and Associate Professor Feng Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital systematically evaluated the genetic associations between type 2 ...

Brain researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have detailed temporary reductions in gray matter following prolonged ...

TAKEAWAY: Every 1 additional hour per week in sports participation was associated with a 64.0-mm 3 larger volume change in subcortical gray matter (P = .04).

Thus, the researchers considered total cortical gray matter volume, total white matter volume (WMV), total subcortical grey matter volume (sGMV), and total ventricular cerebrospinal fluid volume ...

Brain atrophy, rather than cerebrovascular lesions, is seen in type 2 diabetes cognitive dysfunction, and the pattern resembles that seen in preclinical Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study.

The outer, gray-matter-heavy layer of the brain is called the cerebral cortex, and it controls many processes that we think of as “higher” brain functions, like complex thought and working memory.

A 2018 study suggests that regular physical activity may play a key role in new brain cell development and that nearly 80% of gray matter may be able to be changed by exercise. A 2020 study ...
