Did you know? NIA receives somewhere around 4,000 applications for funding in response to new and existing funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) each year. And, each application is reviewed. With that level of interest, you can imagine that we are always looking for investigators who are willing and able to serve as peer reviewers….

“Mom has been very belligerent this morning,” Daddy told me on the phone. I was on the last leg of my journey to their apartment, having boarded the shared taxi from Tel Aviv to Netanya. “She’s been shouting and yelling. She pushed me out of the bathroom and swore at me and called me a ‘dirty old man.’ Then she refused my help getting dressed. I wanted you to know.”
I was still about forty-five minutes away, so there was not much I could do, but I did say hi to Mom on the phone. I was hoping I could help change the situation if Mom was still in a bad mood when I arrived.
Forty minutes later, Daddy called me again. By this time I was in Netanya, walking the few blocks from the central bus station to their apartment.
“Mom was insisting she needed to go out,” he said. “We had a hard time convincing her to stay inside.”
“Oh.” I was puzzled. “Why didn’t you…

Vitamin D has long been referred to as the ‘sunshine vitamin.’ Vitamin D researchers suggest that 5-30 minutes of sun exposure at least twice a week between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to exposed skin without sunscreen will result in sufficient vitamin D synthesis. (1) However, research suggests that almost 50 percent of the world population has vitamin D insufficiency – an estimated 1 billion people. (2) This has been attributed to populations staying indoors more and environmental factors like air pollution, which can obstruct the sun’s rays. (2)
Vitamin D is important for not only brain health but bone mineralization as well. Women are more likely to suffer from a bone fracture than men. (3) Roughly 40 percent of white women 50 years old or older in the United States will experience a bone fracture in their lifetime. (3) With International Women’s Day in early March, it is important to shed light on this key nutrient and elucidate the best w…

Will we soon have an “annual brain check-up”? Under what conditions may specific brain training/ enhancement methods work? Is implanting electrodes in one’s brain–as Elon Musk’s new venture just announced–the most promising way to create a brain-computer interface? How can we harness neuroplasticity to reinvent education and mental health?
Thousands of professionals know that SharpBrains’ annual virtual summit is a valuable resource to understand, navigate and apply the latest in brain health and brain enhancement. All sessions are recorded, so we have over 40 hours of recordings featuring over 100 incredible Speakers who participated in the <a hre…

Study: Dancing may offset some effects of aging in the brain (CSU release):
“A new study led by a Colorado State University researcher shows that kicking up your heels can actually be good for your noggin.
The research team demonstrated for the first time that decline in the brain’s “white matter” can be detected over a period of only six months in healthy aging adults — faster than most studies have shown. On the bright side, a group of test subjects who participated in dance classes during that time actually saw improved white matter integrity in an area of the brain related to memory and processing speed.
