Use your brain, halve your risk of dementia

rain first affected in dementia," said Dr Valenzuela.

This is consistent with studies of brain reserve in mice, where some of the animals were 'hothoused' in stimulating environments. These mice had changes in the microstructure of their brains, compared with the controls.

"We now need a clinical trial to improve our neurobiological understanding of the brain-reserve effect in humans," said Dr Valenzuela. "Perhaps this could be based around mentally stimulating leisure activities that are fun."

The co-author of the paper is Professor Permider Sachdev, also from the School of Psychiatry at UNSW, who is based at The Neuropsychiatric Institute at the Prince of Wales Hospital.
