Rescue of Alzheimers Memory Deficit Achieved by Reducing Excessive Inhibition Researchers discover a potential new drug target for Alzheimer's disease.
New Amyloid Reducing Compound Could Be a Preventive Measure Against Alzheimer’s In animal studies, researchers have identified a compound which reduces amyloid beta proteins by more than half.
Molecular ‘Scaffold’ Could Hold Key to New Dementia Treatments Researchers have discovered how a molecular scaffold, that allows key parts of cells to interact, comes apart in some neurodegenerative diseases.
Study Explores Genetics Behind Alzheimer’s Resiliency Researchers discover a potential genetic variant which could make the brain more resilient to Alzheimer's disease.
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.
After Death, Twin Brains Show Similar Patterns of Neuropathologic Changes Researchers compared the brains of twins where one, or both, died with Alzheimer's disease. They discovered many of the twins not only had similar progressions of the disease before death, but also similar combinations of pathologies.
Brain Cell Activity Regulates Alzheimer’s Protein A new study reports that increased neural activity boosts tau levels in the brain.
New Risk Gene Illuminates Alzheimer’s Disease Researchers have isolated a gene believed to play a casual role in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers Hone in on Alzheimer’s Disease With the help of the Gordon supercomputer, researchers discover new ways to elucidate the creation of oligomers associated with Alzheimer's.
Study Offers Hope to Caregivers of Alzheimer’s Patients A common antidepressant proves effective in easing agitation associated with Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports.
Caffeine Has Positive Effect on Memory Researchers find caffeine has a positive effect on long-term memory.
Brain Area Attacked by Alzheimer’s Links Learning and Rewards Researchers question whether the posterior cingulate cortex actively dampens cognitive performance or monitors performance and attempts to improve it when required.
New Gene Discovery Sheds More Light on Alzheimer’s Risk Researchers uncover a second rare genetic mutation which increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life.
Study Breaks Blood-Brain Barriers to Understanding Alzheimer’s Pericytes could provide novel targets for the treatment and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, a new study reports.
