Inflammation is part of the body's protective system.
The concern is not inflammation itself.
It is what happens when inflammatory signaling becomes persistent and unresolved.

Boosting a naturally occurring brain enzyme helped older mice preserve memory. Human brain samples also linked the enzyme to cognitive resilience despite Alzheimer’s-related changes.

The findings are promising, but treatments for people remain untested.

Boosting One Brain Enzyme Keeps Aging Brains Sharp
Boosting a naturally occurring brain enzyme helped aging mice retain spatial memory, while human brain samples linked the same enzyme to preserved cognition despite Alzheimer’s-related changes. Researchers led by Cinzia Vicidomini and Amar Sahay at Mass General Brigham identified a protective role for Pla2g2f, a gene that encodes an enzyme involved in processing fats. Their study, published October 15, 2026, in Nature Neuroscience, examined whether the brain activates protective mechanisms as it ages.

Brain aging is not one event.
The priorities change across decades.
40s: establish foundations.
50s: navigate hormonal and metabolic changes.
60s: preserve resilience and vascular health.
70s+: protect function, independence, and connection.

Prions are extraordinarily rare. But what scientists learned from them has had a much broader impact on neuroscience.
These abnormal proteins demonstrated how a change in protein folding can trigger a chain reaction within neural tissue.

Rain aging begins earlier than many people expect.
Changes in cognitive function can develop gradually over time through the interaction of sleep, metabolic health, stress, inflammation, and vascular function.

Cognitive performance only partially explained the accelerated #BrainAging observed in patients with anxiety and #depression, while psychiatric disorders independently contributed to brain aging beyond the effects of cognitive impairment.

Cognition Partly Explains Accelerated Brain Aging in Anxiety and Depression
