On July 22, we celebrate World Brain Day, honoring the founding of the World Federation of Neurology and uniting the global community to promote brain health. The brain governs memory, movement, emotions, and much more – its health is essential for a good quality of life.

Alzheimer’s, stroke, Parkinson’s, and depression remain some of the most significant neurological challenges. However, recent years have seen remarkable progress in the development of treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. Lecanemab and Donanemab have shown promise in slowing cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease. The current pipeline includes 164 clinical trials evaluating 127 drug candidates for Alzheimer’s alone. Meanwhile, researchers continue to identify new potential treatment targets, and many more promising active molecules are expected to emerge soon.

At Chemspace, we accelerate innovation in healthcare. Our compound libraries and drug discovery services empower researchers to develop new therapies for a wide range of diseases.

Stay active, keep learning, manage stress, get quality sleep, and maintain social connections – prevention and early intervention remain our best defenses.

Let’s work together to ensure brain health at every age!
