One aspect of physical health that can greatly affect cognition is how we manage inflammation. Not only is it important to manage neuroinflammation, which can damage neuronal cells in the long-term, but it is also vital to control inflammation outside of the brain and spinal cord. According to a recent article from Multiple Sclerosis News Today, inflammation is associated with damage to the nervous system, which can greatly impact people with conditions like MS.

When it comes to maintaining brain health, it is important to care for multiple aspects of the body. As a recent article from Neuroscience News shows, your cognitive health could depend on the state of your blood vessels. According to a study performed by researchers from Penn State, healthy blood vessels can better prevent cognitive decline; vascular degradation can increase the chance of developing neurodegenerative disorders.

There are many facets to brain health besides memory and cognition, but these other aspects can still have large effects on the rest of a person’s neurological function. Last week, Neuroscience News posted an article regarding the risks that anxiety can have on our long-term brain health. According to an Australian study that tracked over 2,000 participants, both chronic and new anxiety can increase the risk of developing dementia. However, resolved anxiety did not appear to increase this risk. If you want to learn more about this study, you can read the article by using the URL that has been provided below.

Our modern world requires many of us to rely on technology, whether it be for work, entertainment, or to navigate our communities. However, it may be best for our brains to take regular breaks from tech, and to use that time to either rest or exercise our intelligence. A recent article from Neuroscience News advises that we take daily afternoon naps and perform memory “work-outs” in order to perform healthy aging.

Last week, Neuroscience News posted an article about the identification of a new type of age-related memory loss. According to researchers at the Mayo Clinic, this form of age-related memory loss – which has been named Limbic-predominant Amnestic Neurodegenerative Syndrome (LANS) – is often mistaken for Alzheimer’s disease. However, LANS progresses more slowly than Alzheimer’s. You can learn more about these findings by following the URL that’s been provided below.

Earlier this month, the CDC posted an article on their website about head impacts in youth tackle and flag football. According to their report, child athletes (ages 6 to 14) who played tackle football sustained 15 times more head impacts than child athletes who played flag football. Considering how head impacts can lead to concussions and other traumatic brain injuries, it is important to consider which sports are safest for children to play, how we can make sports safer, or if children should even be playing certain sports at all. You can read more about this report, as well as possible actions that can lower the amount of head impacts in football, by using the URL that’s provided below.
