          Serotonin Drop Linked to Memory Decline in Early Alzheimer’s Progression

          Researchers discovered a potential link between lower levels of serotonin, the "happiness" chemical, and mild cognitive impairment (MCI), which could advance our understanding of Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Their study indicates that individuals with MCI have significantly reduced serotonin transporter levels, a factor that might contribute to memory problems and potentially AD.

          Light Therapy Shines in Treating Alzheimer’s Sleep and Mood Issues

          A new study highlights the efficacy of light therapy in enhancing sleep and reducing psycho-behavioral symptoms in Alzheimer’s patients. This non-pharmacological treatment, targeting the brain's sleep modulator, shows significant promise in mitigating apathetic and depressive behaviors, agitation, and aggression commonly associated with Alzheimer’s cognitive decline.

          Brain Stimulation Enhances Alzheimer’s Cognitive Function

          Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may enhance cognitive function in Alzheimer’s disease patients. The study involved 140 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer’s, who received either active or sham tDCS twice daily for up to six weeks.

          Brain Cell Genetics Illuminate Alzheimer’s Disease Pathways

          Researchers made a significant advance in understanding Alzheimer's disease (AD) by pinpointing how specific brain cells contribute to different stages of the disease. Employing single nucleus RNA sequencing, they analyzed genetic risks in microglia and astrocytes, revealing distinct roles these cells play in AD progression.

          The Role of Protein Misfolding in Neurodegenerative Diseases

          Neurodegenerative diseases share a common factor: protein misfolding and deposits in the brain. Misfolded proteins can lead to toxic activity or the loss of the protein's physiological function, causing damage to neurons.

          High ‘Good Cholesterol’ Linked to Dementia Risk

          A new study found that abnormally high levels of HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol), often referred to as 'good cholesterol', may increase the risk of dementia in older adults. This large-scale study, part of the ASPREE project, observed over 18,668 participants, noting that those with very high HDL-C levels had a 27% higher risk of dementia.

          Alzheimer’s Neuropsychiatric Symptoms Linked to Brain Inflammation

          Researchers discovered that the neuropsychiatric symptoms in Alzheimer’s disease, such as irritability, agitation, and depression, primarily stem from brain inflammation rather than amyloid and tau proteins. This study involved 109 elderly individuals and found a strong correlation between neuroinflammation and these challenging symptoms.

          A new study reveals that personalized health and lifestyle changes can significantly delay or prevent memory loss in older adults at high risk of Alzheimer's. The study, involving 172 participants, showed that those receiving personalized coaching to manage risk factors like uncontrolled diabetes and physical inactivity had a 74% cognitive improvement compared to the control group.
