Brain Health as Economic Driver: New Commission Launches Data-Driven Framework

Brain Health as Economic Driver: New Commission Launches Data-Driven Framework

The Brain Health for Economic Resilience Commission was announced in Nature Medicine on June 10, 2026.
It is a global, transdisciplinary effort to define, measure, and operationalize brain health as a driver of economic resilience.
The commission is co-chaired by Harris A. Eyre, Rym Ayadi, and Agustín Ibáñez, with experts from Rice University, Euro-Mediterranean Economists Association, and Latin American Brain Health Institute.
The initiative aims to develop data-driven metrics linking cognitive capacity to economic outcomes, informing policy and investment.

Short exposures to common air pollutants have distinct impacts on lung function and brain activity, study shows

Short bursts of everyday air pollution can change breathing and brain responses within hours

A double-blind study exposed 15 volunteers to several real-world pollution mixtures and clean air.
Researchers found distinct respiratory and brain-related effects within four hours of exposure.
The study argues that pollution source matters as much as pollutant quantity.

Weekly Home Cooking May Slash Dementia Risk by 30% in Older Adults

Home cooking at least once per week is linked to a 30% lower dementia risk in older adults per new research
The cognitive benefits stem from cooking's multi-domain demands: planning, memory, attention, and motor coordination
The threshold for benefit is low — even simple weekly meals appear to confer protection, making the habit broadly accessible
