Even when consensus for the locus of thought moved northward into the head, it was not the brain that was believed to be the sine qua non, but the empty spaces within it, called ventricles ...

Findings suggest Mediterranean and green-MED diets improve brain health, with polyphenols contributing to younger brain age ...

“Using a precision imaging approach, we were able to observe sweeping changes in gray matter volume, cortical thickness, ...

researchers have observed reduced volume in certain parts of the brain—including gray matter overall—as well as increased size of the fluid-filled spaces called ventricles. Studies of brain ...
