A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

Discover how white matter changes in the brain can predict aging trajectories and cognitive decline in individuals.

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...
