Tim Newman

After completing a bachelor’s degree in neuroscience at the U.K.’s University of Manchester, Tim changed course entirely to work in sales, marketing, and analysis. Realizing that his heart truly lies with science and writing, he changed course once more and joined the Medical News Today team. As Senior News Editor, Tim led our team of top notch writers and editors, who report on the latest medical research from peer reviewed journals; he also penned a few articles himself. Tim is now an Editor at ZOE.

    • Microplastics in the brain: How can we avoid exposure?
      12 Mar—Medical News Today
      The link between microplastics and health is a rapidly evolving area of science. A recent commentary reviews this relationship, particularly focusing on brain health. The authors also outline ways to reduce exposure to microplastics. A new commentary article, which appears in the journal Brain Medicine, discusses microplastics and their links to health. Below, we outline the main topics touched upon in the commentary and ask whether it is possible to reduce exposure to these omnipresent...
    • New test may detect Alzheimer's years before tau clumps show up in scans
      14 Feb—Medical News Today
      The presence of neurofibrillary tangles in the brain is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer’s disease. These irregular clumps of protein are closely associated with disease progression. Scientists have now designed a way to detect the very early stages of their development. They hope this discovery will pave the way for earlier diagnosis and, therefore, better response to treatment. Scientists know that a build-up of specific proteins in the brain is associated with Alzheimer’s...
    • Unhealthy diet may speed up biological aging, even in young adults
      5 Feb—Medical News Today
      A group of scientists recently investigated links between diet quality and biological aging. To gauge biological age, they used cutting-edge “epigenetic clocks.” They found that poorer diets, which include high amounts of fast food and processed meat but low amounts of fruit and vegetables, may contribute to accelerated biological aging, even in young adults. The results of a new study involving 826 young adults suggest that diets high in fast food, processed red meat, and soda but low in...
    • ADHD linked to 'astonishing' reduction in life expectancy
      27 Jan—Medical News Today
      A new study estimates the life expectancy of adults with attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The researchers conclude that, on average, people with an ADHD diagnosis have shorter lives than those without the condition. This, the authors suggest, is likely due to a combination of unmet needs, lifestyle factors, and health inequality. A new paper, which appears in The British Journal of Psychiatry, concludes that females with an attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder...
    • Seasonal Depression: 14 Surprising Ways to Beat the Post-Holiday Blues
      4 Jan—Healthline
      Health News As holiday festivities fade into the rearview, these lesser-known tips can help you navigate the winter blues and seasonal depression. The holidays are over, which, for some people, may come as a relief. For others, going back to work or school or the daily grind of the routine may seem like a downer, especially during the darker days of winter. During the winter season, when the days are shorter and colder in the northern hemisphere, the body’s internal clock may become disrupted...
