Game that reduces dementia risk clears amyloid from men’s brains
A cognitive speed training game reduced dementia risk by 25% in men by altering beta-amyloid levels, a protein linked to Alzheimer's disease. The study, led by Hye Won Chai at Clemson University, found that men who completed the training showed improved brain clearance of amyloid 42, while women and other training groups saw no effect.
