UArizona researchers explored the link between sedentary behavior and risk of dementia and found that type of activity matters when it comes to brain aging.

Researchers showed that air pollution is associated with adverse impacts on brain structure, and while physical activity benefits brain health in low-pollution areas, physical activity in areas with the most pollution did not confer the same benefits.

A new study shows that people who do vigorous physical activities, like jogging or playing competitive sports, in areas with higher air pollution may show less benefit from that exercise when it comes to certain markers of brain disease.

Researchers observed more than 8,000 participants in a recent study and found that exposure to air pollution was associated with a decrease in brain volume and health.

Alongside researchers from University of Florida, UArizona researchers are turning to infrared light as a method to combat Alzheimer's through a clinical study funded by the National Institute on Aging.

The National Institutes of Health grant will allow Dr. Ying-hui Chou develop a novel therapy that can enhance memory function by improving brain connectivity.

With support from a grant from the National Institute on Aging, researchers will test a novel intervention that uses near-infrared light to enhance brain function and fight cognitive decline.

Two UA researchers, including BIO5's Dr. Gene Alexander, recently combed through literature and developed a model that might explain why physical and mental health are so closely connected.
