New research is reshaping how neurologists think about sleep not as passive rest, but as an essential biological maintenance process. Understanding this mechanism may be one of the most important steps Americans can take toward long-term cognitive health.

As loneliness rates among American adults reach historic levels, neuroscientists are building a compelling case for social connection as a frontline intervention in the prevention of accelerated brain aging.
