A fading sense of smell can be one of the earliest signs of Alzheimer’s disease even before cognitive impairments manifest. Research by scientists at DZNE and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU) sheds new light on this phenomenon, pointing to a significant role for the brain’s immune response, which seems to fatally attack neuronal fibers crucial for the perception of odors. The study, …

The Pixel 10 ships with 12GB of RAM, but you’ll only ever have about 8GB available for your apps and games. That’s because, as Android Authority discovered, Google is carving out roughly 3.5GB exclusively for its Gemini-powered AI framework. It’s a permanent, AI-only memory partition (in technical terms, “unevictable”), and it keeps the Nano model and AICore service resident in …

A randomized twin trial found that a daily mix of protein and prebiotics improved performance on a sensitive memory test after 12 weeks. Scientists have been mapping how the gut microbiome communicates with the brain through immune, neural, and hormonal routes, an interconnected axis that shapes cognition across the lifespan. That big picture matters when we ask whether …

Summary: A new study reveals that listening to music immediately after an experience can enhance memory—if the emotional response is just right. Researchers found that volunteers who experienced moderate arousal while listening to music were better at recalling details, while those with stronger or weaker emotions remembered only the gist. This suggests that music can shift the balance between gist- …
