Researchers found a key difference in the brains of people with Alzheimer’s disease and those who are cognitively normal but still have brain plaques that characterize this type of dementia.
Shorter periods of sleep and poorer quality of sleep are associated with greater buildup of beta anyloid, a new study reports.
Researchers discover a decline in glucose levels in the brain that occurs during the early stages of MCI.
Iron accumulation in the brain's neocortex has been linked to cognitive decline in people with Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers report more people are dying from neurological conditions like Alzheimer's disease now than twenty years ago. By contrast, the number of deaths from cancer and heart disease in the elderly has dropped.
Increasing SIRT3 levels with a ketone rich diet may help protect GABAergic interneurons and delay the onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Capillary constriction caused by amyloid beta restricts cerebral blood flow in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Inhibiting the capillary constriction may potentially reduce some of the neurodegenerative features of Alzheimer's.
A new study reports on a link between coprophagia and certain neurodegenerative diseases and dementias.
Examining the brains of a small number of people who had Alzheimer's disease, researchers find evidence of fungal infections in key areas of the brain which become damaged as the disease progresses.
A new study reveals a novel genetic risk loci for Alzheimer's disease. Using single cell gene expression patterns, researchers found genetic changes are expressed in microglia cells. The mutations are associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.
Mechanism holds potential for improving recall in dementia patients. Have you ever gone to the movies and forgotten where you...
Using mouse models, researchers discover TSPO ligands can significantly decrease Alzheimer's related symptoms and improve memory. The discovery could lead to preventative and new treatment options for Alzheimer's disease.
