🎶 Disco legend Nile Rodgers has been deeply affected by Alzheimer's. Six family members, including his mom, lost their battle with it.

Help scientists crack the code to prevent dementias.

Let music move us forward... towards a future where memories are treasured, not stolen.

👁‍🗨 People with GERD were 2.5x more likely to develop dementia than those without. 🧠

The mechanism isn’t clear — it could be inflammation, long-term use of PPIs, or oxidative stress from GERD.

☑️ The jury is still out, but awareness is key.

Your brain feels inflammation too. 🧠

Diabetes can quietly impact memory and thinking — not just the body.

Let’s protect brain health by raising awareness this #WorldDiabetesDay 💙

It’s World Diabetes Day. 💙 Did you know inflammation from diabetes can also hurt your brain? 🧠 Chronic high blood sugar doesn’t just affect your body — it can slow memory and reaction time too. Take care of your mind as much as your glucose.

👁‍🗨 Physical activity and risk of Alzheimer's disease.

🔴 In older adults (mean age 72) with elevated Aβ amyloid, 5,000-7,500 steps/day were associated with less Tau accumulation, improved cognition.

Brain games that focus on
boosting attention and improving processing speed
appear to preserve acetylcholine,
a neurotransmitter crucial to cognitive processes like memory. 🙌

Ever forget what you were doing right after opening a new tab? 😅

Stress might be the reason — it messes with how your brain stores and recalls information.

Play the MindCrowd.org memory game and see how your brain’s doing today.

Genes, environment & aging all shape Parkinson’s but timing may be key. ⏳

New biomarkers like α-synuclein SAAs highlight when risk turns to disease, and why some never progress.

Did you know? 🤓 One of the most common suggestions when experiencing Mild Cognitive Impairment is to exercise regularly - as exercise is known to improve brain health. 🏃‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏋

😫 The brain itself doesn't feel pain. Pain is processed in the brain and the neurons can transmit sensory information, but the brain has no pain receptors. 🧠

😫 The brain itself doesn't feel pain. Pain is processed in the brain and the neurons can transmit sensory information, but the brain has no pain receptors. 🧠 😷🩺 This explains how brain surgery can be performed while the patient is awake with no pain or discomfort. And the ache from a headache 🤕 comes from other nerves — inside skin, joints, sinuses, muscles or blood vessels in your head, for example — telling your brain something is wrong. 😬 #DidYouKnow #BrainFacts

Humor & heartbreak intertwined in Michael Che's performance. He spoke about his mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis, using an anecdote that pushed boundaries. But ultimately served as a reminder of the human cost of the disease + need for compassion + support for those affected.
Humor and heartbreak intertwined in Michael Che's performance at Hilarity for Charity. He candidly spoke about his mother's Alzheimer's diagnosis, using a controversial joke as an example of how he tries to bridge the memory gaps she experiences. The anecdote, while pushing boundaries, ultimately served as a reminder of the human cost of the disease and the need for compassion and support for those affected.

👁‍🗨 Previous studies show the posterior hippocampi of London cab drivers 🧑🏼‍✈️ are significantly larger when compared to 🚌 bus drivers. This is very interesting because this part of the brain 🧠 is heavily affected by Alzheimer’s disease and is involved in memory and spatial navigation.
👁‍🗨 Previous studies show the posterior hippocampi of London cab drivers 🧑🏼‍✈️ are significantly larger when compared to 🚌 bus drivers. This is very interesting because this part of the brain 🧠 is heavily affected by Alzheimer’s disease and is involved in memory and spatial navigation. ➤ Taxi drivers in London have to pass one of the most rigorous memorization tests called “the Knowledge,” which demands that they memorize about 26,000 streets in central London, landmarks and plan the most efficient route to navigate from one location to another without the help of Google Maps or another GPS device. The test can take three to four years to study for and complete. Quite a mental workout! 💪🧠 ➤ Would you like to try a smaller memory exercise and see how you perform when compared with others your age? (You won't compete with a London cabbie, we promise. 😉) Source: Studies from Maguire et al.
