A 16-year MRI study reveals that lower visceral fat is linked to slower brain atrophy and better cognition, mediated by ...

A long-term brain imaging study in aging adults showed faster rates of atrophy in certain brain structures to be associated with the risk of developing mild cognitive impairment (MCI). While some ...

A groundbreaking long-term MRI study at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) in Beersheba shows that lower accumulation of abdominal (visceral) fat is linked with a significant slowing of brain ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans of the brain and abdomen were analysed of 533 women and men in late midlife, who were followed for up to 16 years. During this period, participants underwent ...

New MRI research reveals that heavy smoking can shrink key brain regions tied to memory and cognition, and excess weight might intensify the damage, raising fresh questions about dementia prevention.

—While MRI can detect abnormal atrophy during preclinical Alzheimer’s disease, atrophy assessment should be tailored to the targeted disease stage and intended use. Structural magnetic resonance ...

An analysis of almost 50,000 brain scans has revealed five distinct patterns of brain atrophy associated with aging and neurodegenerative disease. The analysis has also linked the patterns to ...
