Would you rather be smart or educated? We see that smart people show less brain change in aging, regardless of education and polygenic scores. 7000 longitudinal MRIs. Great work by @KWalhovd and the @LifebrainEU & @LCBC_UiO teams

Hot off the press: 2x10 weeks memory training in 157 participants yielded improved memory for 3 yrs. In contrast, hippo volume increased during training, but did not differ from controls after 3 yrs. Great work @AnneCecilie17 @LCBC_UiO @LifebrainEU
