In a recent study involving nearly 3,000 brain MRI examinations, researchers found a significant association between residing in socioeconomically disadvantaged neighborhoods and deteriorating brain health indicators. The findings were published in Radiology. John-Paul J. Yu, MD, PhD, an associate professor at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health, highlighted the study's implications, noting, "We’ve shown very robust, measurable metrics that our living environment has an outsized impact on the brain at the molecular and cellular level. "This retrospective analysis examined whether individuals living in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods showed higher brain age gaps and decreased total brain volume. The brain age gap reflects the difference between a person's actual age and their brain's apparent age as estimated from MRI data. The researchers evaluated brain MRIs from 2,826 patients—1,094 men and 1,732 women—aged 18 to 96. The imaging data was collected from consecutive clinical MRI examinations at the University of Wisconsin Hospitals and Clinics from January to June 2024. Patients with imaging evidence of existing disease were excluded from the study

WEATHERTuesday, October 20, 2026 6:28PMAmid a respite between storms, crews in Long Beach worked on a dredging project aimed at stabilizing the seawall and protective sand berms. LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) -- Amid relatively calm weather conditions, crew in Long Beach this week continued working on a dredging project aimed at stabilizing the seawall, boardwalk and protective sand berms on the Alamitos Peninsula. The city is spending millions of dollars on the project before severe conditions fueled by the "super El Niño" are expected to arrive later this year. Sandbags have been strategically placed to keep sea water out of the Peninsula's beachfront homes. In interviews with ABC7, some residents said they appreciate what the city has done so far to protect their houses. "We're neighbors, this is the Peninsula. That's what makes this a special place," Kim Kabar said. "It is so special, and yet it is time-limited and we know it. We know it. Everyone knows it. Will the peninsula exist in a hundred years? Hope so, but eventually not. "Four Long Beach Fire Department stations have made sand and sandbags available for residents.
