Bigger brains suggest better brain health and cognitive function. And since the 1930s, our brains have been growing in size. Now, a new study shows how this is affecting our risk of developing dementia, particularly Alzheimer's disease.

Unfortunately, not every dystopian element of real life is caused by corpo-jerks. Sometimes the full truth is inescapably fucking awful even before money gets involved.

Got confused somehow, sorry about that. I must have had this tab open and mistook it for one of my “bad news suitable for Nerdy Cyberpunk Dystopia” tabs.

    Wait, it decreases Dementia? I thought I read it, but now I’m wondering if I have memory problems? Or was I right about bigger brains increasing Dementia?

      Yup, I f-ed up with this somehow.

      “A 2016 National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study found that there’s been a progressive decline in newly reported dementia cases since the 1970s, with an average reduction of 20% per decade.” Going to hide this post as a result, sorry about that.
