Have you ever struggled to remember a simple word? Do you regularly forget where you put your keys? Is it sometimes difficult to concentrate? These can all happen due to overwork and stress, or it can be a signal that it is time to take care of your brain.
It is not only muscles that need to be trained. The brain, just like muscles, develops only through action. And the more "pumped up" the brain is, the easier it is to capture and assimilate information. Brain fitness is called neurobics.
Scientists at Kaunas University of Technology (KTU) in Lithuania have developed a method that can predict the possible onset of Alzheimer's disease with almost one hundred percent accuracy.
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine has presented the results of a study proving that bilirubin plays a role in protecting brain cells from damage due to oxidative stress.
It has been proven that foods containing certain nutrients can improve our cognitive functions and reduce the risk of degenerative brain diseases, including Alzheimer's disease. What should you eat to keep your mind working well?
The international project Global Burden Diseases (GBD) published a study that found 10.3 million cases of stroke are registered annually in the world, of which 6.5 million end up being fatal. Who is at risk and can the risk be reduced?

We believe that our brain is a reliable source of information, but this is not the case. Memories can be distorted for various reasons, which has repeatedly led to unfortunate consequences. For example, when considering witness testimony in court. New research conducted by Adam Albi and Peter Paikossy from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics has shown that there is an objective way to measure how reliable a person's memories are simply by observing their pupil response.
