“They found that Hsp70 suppressed the toxicity of amyloid-beta in cells of the flies' eyes, reduced cell death in brain neurons, and helped maintain the neurons' architecture and function.”

“Since RBD precedes brain changes associated with various neurological disorders, the authors of the study hypothesized it was a marker for a body-first subtype.The case-control study involved 37 people with suspected Parkinson's disease between the ages of 50 and 85 years, and 22 people with RBD of unknown cause.”

“Similarly, photoreceptors in the eyes respond to UV exposure, modulating the regulation of circadian rhythms. Findings from a new study suggest that early life exposure to ultraviolet light reduces the risk of developing early-onset multiple sclerosis (MS).”

“Typically characterized by sensory, cognitive, and emotional experiences, dreams share many similarities with hallucinations. Scientists formerly believed that dreams only occurred during the rapid eye movement, or REM, stage of sleep, but recent research indicates that they can occur at any time during sleep.”

“Glutathione is a potent antioxidant compound produced in the body's tissues, particularly those that experience high levels of oxidative stress, such as the eyes, liver, and brain.”

“Authors of a recent study report that hypertension diagnosed in early or midlife, but not late life, is a predictor of dementia. Because hypertension damages the delicate small blood vessels of the heart, kidneys, eyes, brain, and other organs, it is a risk factor for a wide range of chronic diseases.”

“For every year of positive retinal age gap difference, the risk of premature death from any cause increased 2 percent. Having positive retinal age gaps greater than three years increased the risk of premature death from specific diseases (other than cardiovascular disease or cancer) by as much as 67 percent.”

“In the week following the session, she also became more alert, recognized family members, was able to walk without assistance, dressed herself, showed more initiative, and engaged more socially through eye contact, smiling, and responses that showed awareness of people, surroundings, and social context.”

“Hypertension damages small blood vessels in the eyes, kidneys, and other tissues, increasing the risk for disease and dysfunction. A 2019 study found that intensive blood pressure control in patients with hypertension reduces the risk of developing small blood vessel damage-related white matter lesions in the brain.”

“Light is a major regulator of circadian rhythm, especially in children, whose eyes are more photosensitive. Previous research demonstrates that exposure to bright light suppresses melatonin (the sleepiness hormone) production twice as strongly in children as in adults.”
