Scientists Explain How Memories Stick Together Researchers create a new model of memory which explains how neurons retain selective memories a few hours after an event takes place.
Limiting a Certain Protein in the Brain Reverses Alzheimer’s Symptoms in Mice Limiting the p25 protein appears to reverse AD symptoms in mice, a new study reports.
Researchers Find Brain Activity That May Mark the Beginning of Memories Tracking the brain activity of a rat as it stops to examine its environment, researchers believe they can mark where memory begins.
New Mouse Model Could Revolutionize Research in Alzheimer’s Disease Researchers report of creating two new mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. They believe the models could potentially revolutionize research into the neurodegenerative disease.
Online Registry Aims to Drive Brain Disease Research The Brain Health Registry promises to cut the time and costs of conducting clinical trails for neurological diseases. The online project, led by UCSF, will help researchers to analyze and track the brain functions of thousands of volunteers over time.
Bipartisan Bill Announced to Boost Alzheimer’s Research and International Action Plan A bipartisan bill has been announced to boost Alzheimer's disease research and create an international action plan.
Research Suggests Connection Between the Integrity of White Matter and Dementia Researchers discover a link between white matter health and the presence of dementia in adults with Down syndrome.
The Aging Brain Needs REST Researchers discover REST is lost in critical brain areas of those with AD.
How Age Opens the Gates for Alzheimer’s Researchers discover why aging and molecular changes in brain circuitry can lead to tangles associated with AD.
Researchers Slow Development of Alzheimer’s Trademark Cell Killing Plaques Researchers claim they have learned to fix the Golgi structure which becomes fragmented in patients with AD.
How a Small Worm May Help the Fight Against Alzheimer’s A naturally occurring molecule has the ability to prevent protein aggregation associated with aging.
Scientists Catch Brain Damage in the Act Researchers uncover how hypoxia and inflammation cause brain damage in conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and strokes.
Blood Test Identifies Those at Risk for Cognitive Decline and Alzheimer’s Within 3 Years Researchers have created and validated a blood test which can, with 90 percent accuracy, predict if a healthy person will develop AD within 3 years.
Inherited Alzheimer’s Damage Greater Decades Before Symptoms Appear Neuronal damage can begin up to twenty years before Alzheimer's symptoms appear, researchers report.
