My weekly roundup is out - with plenty of reviews of brain studies in the last week or so:
Brain stimulation has come up a few times this week - and considering that this always generates interest let’s start there.
Surprisingly positive results in this study:

"A Master Switch for Brain Aging?"
https://leadingbrainsreview.substack.com/p/brain-snack-a-master-switch-for-brain?r=59dsl
A roundup of fascinating topics today: the brain rhythms that define your sense of self, the simplest way for teens to protect their mental health, exercise is as good as therapy for depression, and a massive study showing why memory loss speeds up with older age.
Findings from a 20-year study show that five to six weeks of adaptive “speed of processing” training, with booster sessions, are linked to a durable reduction in dementia risk—about 25% lower over two decades, including Alzheimer's disease. Notable relevance for therapists, psychotherapists, social workers, and other mental health professionals is seen in illustrating a scalable, nonpharmacologic approach to maintaining cognitive health in aging populations.
Article Title: Just 5 weeks of brain training may protect against dementia for 20 years
