MYndspan Study Reveals Groundbreaking Insights on Brain Aging Trajectories
MYndspan, a British brain health tech company, presented a groundbreaking study at the Longevity Summit Dublin utilizing magnetoencephalography (MEG) to predict brain aging trajectories. The research identified specific neurophysiological markers associated with accelerated brain aging and highlighted the significance of cortical oscillations as reliable markers for predictive brain age modeling. MYndspan plans to expand its brain health assessments to other locations in the UK and North America, making advanced brain health assessments more accessible to a wider audience.
Study Shows Hearing Aids May Slow Brain Aging Process in Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment
Recent research from the University of California, Los Angeles, suggests that hearing aids could slow down brain aging in adults with mild cognitive impairment. A study using 18F-FDG scans revealed that untreated hearing loss may lead to below-normal brain metabolism levels in frontal cortical regions, potentially linking hearing loss to cognitive decline. However, individuals using hearing aids did not experience significant decline, indicating a possible role of hearing aids in preserving brain function and slowing cognitive impairment progression. This study, published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, highlights the importance of addressing hearing loss in individuals with mild cognitive impairment to support overall brain health.
The Decline of Cognitive Health in Middle Age
Are you experiencing cognitive decline in your forties and fifties? Experts warn that the middle-aged brain is prone to substantial shifts in size and function, leading to a rapid drop in cognitive health. However, proactive measures such as diet, exercise, and supplements can help maintain brain health as we age.
