Heard of the glymphatic system? This is a great article

Do core memories really exist? We asked the experts

Some memories fade away, while others stay with us for life. But why can we remember some things and not others? And can you "make" a memory? This is what the experts say.

Tremors, seizures and paralysis: this brain disorder is more common than multiple sclerosis – but often goes undiagnosed

Functional neurological disorder can be hard to distinguish from other conditions. Some patients feel misunderstood and their symptoms dismissed.

Major Australian study finds lifestyle changes can delay cognitive decline! Congratulations to all the researchers involved in this huge study!

Fascinating! There's so much about how cognitive skills develop in children we still don't understand. Enjoy this read :)

Children's perception of time is relatively understudied. Learning to see time through their eyes may be fundamental to a happier human experience.

Keep your brain healthy by challenging out with novel activities. Don't waste your time on digital "brain-training" games/apps!

The human brain has been shrinking – and no-one quite knows why. (Maybe it's the Instagram Effect?)

What is it like to not be able to mentally visualise anything? Fascinating read.

Not everyone can picture images in their mind's eye and remember sounds or faces - but why?

Developing a VR tool to test brain function. I love it! Still some barriers to overcome before this is rolled out for dementia diagnosis - and neuropsychological assessment remains the gold standard for early diagnosis.

Current methods of screening for dementia have a range of limitations. Using virtual reality for cognitive screening is still a new area, but it’s showing promise.

The science behind the brain-boosting effect of raising bilingual children. Fascinating!

How do you help children become fluent in two or more languages, even if you don't speak other languages yourself?

Great article about normal forgetting – and when to worry. If still in doubt, seeing a clinical neuropsychologist can provide answers. This is our bread and butter at Focus Neuropsychology (buff.ly/42KMOny)

Can’t remember where you put your keys? It’s normal.
