Oral Bacteria Linked to Cognitive Function in Older Adults
A study by the University of Exeter found a correlation between specific oral bacteria and cognitive function in 115 adults over 50, with higher levels of Neisseria associated with better cognitive performance and Porophyromonas linked to decline, suggesting potential for interventions targeting the...

Deep Sleep's Crucial Role in Brain Waste Removal and the Potential Risks of Sleeping Pills
A new study reveals that deep sleep facilitates brain waste removal via the glymphatic system, a process driven by norepinephrine; sleeping pills may disrupt this, potentially harming cognitive function.

Heavy Cannabis Use Linked to Reduced Brain Activity in Young Adults
A study of 1003 young adults found heavy cannabis use (over 1000 uses) correlates with reduced brain activity in memory-related regions, even after excluding recent users; recent use showed a weak, temporary link to reduced activity in memory and motor tasks, but this association was not significant...

Taxi and Ambulance Drivers Show Lower Alzheimer's Death Rates: Study
A Harvard Medical School study found lower Alzheimer's death rates among US taxi and ambulance drivers (1.03% and 0.91%) compared to the general population (1.69%) and other transportation jobs, suggesting that memory-intensive navigation might offer some protection against Alzheimer's, though more ...
