The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

New study found higher omega-3 index in midlife protects the brain from shrinkage/preserves cognition.
Omega-3 fatty acid levels in plasma linked to improved fluid intelligence & increased gray matter volume in adults.
Higher plasma omega-3 levels are associated with a 1.6-fold lower risk of dementia, less cognitive decline, and slower brain atrophy compared to individuals with the lowest plasma omega-3 levels.
People aged 65 and older with high omega-3 DHA levels in red blood cells (>6.1%) had around half the risk of developing Alzheimer's and dementia and had an estimated 4.7 extra years of life free of Alzheimer's compared to those with low DHA (< 3.8%).
we're working on on a paper right now again from one of our cohorts looking at the omega-3 index predicting risk for alzheimer's and dementia and it does which is nice
So there are studies that have found that a higher omega-3 index is associated with larger hypocample brain volume. And um and that was also something that was found to be dose dose dependent as well. And so it was delaying it's it's basically staving off that losing of the hippocample volume.
