A multi-pronged, non-pharmacological approach—including herbal decoctions, acupuncture, targeted massage and specific dietary patterns—shows promise in slowing cognitive decline. Lifestyle interventions, particularly physical activity, social engagement and mental stimulation, are consistently identified as […]

The brain in pain: How chronic suffering rewires the mind and a new path to relief
Chronic pain is increasingly understood as a brain-based experience, not just a localized physical symptom. Three key brain pathways—responsible for feeling, suffering and calming—determine the intensity and persistence of pain.
