Findings could help in the development of treatments to prevent brain inflammation associated with Alzheimer's disease. Read More
A new study reports the locus coeruleus, an area of the brain essential for maintaining cognitive function, is vulnerable to toxins and infections. This brain area appears to be the first place affected by late onset Alzheimer's. Read More
Researchers have revealed a new, non-invasive, pre-clinical biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Using neurons created from iPS cells derived from people with ALS, researchers develop a new drug which appears to halt the impact of the genetic mutations in some forms of ALS and dementia. Read More
Researchers report dysfunctional mitophagy may contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease. When mitophagy is improved, symptoms of Alzheimer's almost disappeared in animal models of the disease. Read More
Researchers discover so-called sticky synapses can impair new learning by excessively hard wiring old memories. Read More
According to researchers, a simple MRI brain scan could help diagnose people with a common cognitive disorder. Read More
A study that used postmortem brain tissue samples from Alzheimer's patients and mouse models found the hunger hormone ghrelin is linked to cognitive impairments and memory loss associated with the disease. Read More
Researchers use peanut butter as a new tool to diagnose early stage Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers have identified a mechanism that may explain how neurons falter during the earliest stages of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Researchers say the combination of low muscle mass and strength in the context of high fat mass, could be a predictor of cognitive function in older adults. Sarcopenic obesity could be used to predict risk factors for developing dementia, the study reports. Read More
