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!

An online program aimed at improving diet, exercise and other modifiable risk factors for dementia has resulted in better cognition in older adults, Australian research has found.

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!

Brain-training games may have cognitive benefits, but other challenging activities are proven to help our brains function at their best.

How much sleep is your phone's blue light really costing you? Here's what the science says

We’re told to avoid scrolling on our phones before bedtime or while in bed, but what does the science actually tell us about the impact of bright, blue light and sleep?

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

The brains of modern humans are around 13% smaller than those of Homo sapiens who lived 100,000 years ago. Exactly why is still puzzling researchers.

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.

Do nootropics work? Great article about the power (or not!) of nootropics to enhance our minds. Hint: save your money

The prospect of discovering compounds that improve the brain is tantalising, but does the hype match the research?

Great news! Great study! Healthy lifestyle in 60s linked to avoiding aged care when older

Having a healthy lifestyle in your 60s is linked to a dramatically lower risk entering a nursing home in later life,according to new research from Sydney University using data from the 45 and Up Study. The study of 125,000 Australians aged 60 years or older, published in the Journal of…
