Researchers found that living in Antarctica for months on end caused brain shrinkage, especially in the hippocampus. They speculated that living in relative isolation and a "monotonous" environment may be the root cause. – WTF Fun Facts

Diabetes Increase Risk of Brain Shrinkage
A groundbreaking long-term study has revealed that the natural aging process, which involves the gradual loss of brain tissue, can be significantly accelerated by factors like type 2 diabetes and the presence of amyloid plaques—both of which are associated with an increased risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia. The study, which spans over two decades, followed 185 participants…

You Really Do Not Want to Catch It
Researchers identified Covid-associated brain shrinkage equivalent to as much as a decade of normal aging, according to a study published in Nature. The study used before-and-after brain images of 785 British people and found that even a mild case of Covid-19 may cause greater loss of gray matter and tissue damage in the brain than naturally occurs in people who have not been infected with the virus. The death toll from Covid-19, meanwhile, eclipsed 6 million. (New York Times / Bloomberg / USA Today / Politico)

Spending time with a good listener not only feels great, it may be key to keeping the brain healthy as people age. Adults who reported having lots of access to someone who could listen to them when they needed to talk had a younger “cognitive age” then those who had fewer opportunities to share their thoughts with a friend or loved one. “High listener availability seemed to create a protective…
