Background: Changes in physical health and cognition during aging can result in some older adults to stop driving. In this population-based longitudinal study, we describe potential predictors of driving cessation in older adults. Methods: Age-stratified...

Hypoexcitability of the dorsomedial prefrontal cortex could underlie loss of empathy in frontotemporal dementia (FTD), according to new research in a mouse model. The results of the study, led by Wei-Dong Yao, indicate that...
